"To meditate in nature is to bring an attentiveness to the world around you and a curiosity about your inner and outer environment. To do so means to draw on the innate quality of mindfulness, which is the simple capacity to be aware, to know what is happening in your direct experience.”
From the very beginning, the Buddha was intimately connected to the Earth. He left his home, lived in the forest, meditated in nature and awakened under a tree next to a river. When Mara questioned his enlightenment, the Buddha didn’t say anything. He simply touched the earth as witness to his realization.
The Nature Meditation Group plans to meet once a month in different local parks to hike and meditate together, using Mark Coleman’s A Field Guide to Nature Meditation as a guide. These will be intentionally quiet walks with light guidance.
