In a meditative walk we will contribute to the work and care that goes into raising our food while incorporating yoga & mindfulness, gathering the fruits and vegetables that we will later eat for dinner. Become a part of the farm as one's yoga practice grows with one's gardening skills!
Evening Meditation
Gather around the fire for seated meditation, offering the group's energy and appreciation to the dinner harvested and will soon prepare. Providing the mind and body opportunity for stillness, connecting the internal and external environments, expanding energetic awareness and sharing pure light prana with the natural environment which nourishes lives.
