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 awakening.

Communication and Planning

  • All registered participants will receive one email confirmation outlining the dates, time, and location of all Nature Meditation KM Group gatherings for the 2026 season.
  • The gathering information will be also be posted in the RIM weekly newsletter the week prior to the event.
  • A reminder email will be sent to all registered participants the week prior to the event.
  • Registered members will receive email communication about last minute cancellations due to inclement weather. If you have invited non-members to join you, please keep them informed.

Other Considerations

  • Each of the monthly group gatherings will take about 75 minutes, including a walk, guided meditation(s) and time to discuss the experience.
  • Participants must have the physical ability to walk on uneven terrain for about 45 minutes. The pace will be slow and the trails relatively easy.
  • While we try to avoid areas where poison ivy is present, it is a good idea to wear closed toe shoes and socks.  Similarly, lightweight, long sleeve tops and pants protect you from flying insects.  
  • Participants are encouraged to bring bug spray, sunscreen and a water bottle.
  • A kick-off Zoom meeting will be held on April 19, 2026 at 10:00 am.
  • The six Sunday group gatherings will be held the last Sunday of the month.
  • All the in-person group gatherings will be held at Menomonee Park - W220N7884 Town Line Road; Menomonee Falls, WI 53051. We will be gathering north of the Beach House in the Beach Parking Lot near Lannon Pond.
