Join me for an elemental contemplative walk in a beautiful landscape to sense into your connection with the Earth! On this walk we’ll concentrate on our connection with the Earth Element.

We will walk trails traversing an area with diverse ecosystems including forest, chaparral, dry creeks and may be ponds. With a distance of about 6 miles, it’s a walk of moderate difficulty with some elevation - an evocative path for a journey through the four elements. As we sit and walk, we will explore the elements of fire, water, earth, and air. You will experience how indivisibly intertwined we are with the natural world around us. The walk will be conducted in silence.

This half-day event will also include a guided meditation, a contemplative nature practice, the reading of poetry and sharing circles.

Leave your phone behind and be ready to slow down, to fully engage your senses and to be amazed by the beauty that exists in the natural world and the interconnectedness of all beings. Come home refreshed and reconnected to yourself, others and the natural world.

This event is open to self-identified women of all ages and backgrounds. The only requirement is that you are able to walk the distance and stay with the group. Bring a lunch, plenty of water and hiking poles if you need them. No prior meditation experience required.
To ensure the safety of all participants, we request that you be vaccinated to participate in this event.

Join me for a series of four seasonal contemplative walks in a beautiful landscape!

We will walk the same trails each season in an area with diverse environments including forest, chaparral, streams and ponds. With a distance of about 6 miles, it’s a walk of moderate difficulty with some elevation - an evocative path for a journey through the four seasons. Walking the same route each season, often completely in silence, supports self-reflection, witnessing and observation.

In addition to walking in silence, the walk may include a guided meditation, a contemplative nature practice, the reading of poetry and sharing circles.

Be a pilgrim for a day: leave your phone behind and be ready to slow down, to fully engage your senses and to be amazed by the beauty that exists in the natural world. Come home refreshed and reconnected to yourself, others and nature, ready to fully engage your whole self to life.
