SUMMARY:August Full Moon Immersion with Amanda Kenyon
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 9: 6:45pm - 9:00pm\nAt BEEC\n$30 for BEEC members\, $35 for non-members \n\nExperience nature unfold as we shift from daylight to twilight to nightfall at this special time of the month when the moon is at its fullest. You’ll be guided to tune in to your senses to appreciate nature in new ways. Inspired by the Japanese practice of forest bathing\, enjoy a mindful and playful guided experience in the forest and meadow atop Heifer Hill. Sweeping views offer us the possibility to see the moonrise. \nCourse Details\nDuring our Full Moon Forest Immersion\, you will be offered guided prompts\, or “invitations”\, that tap into your senses and quiet your mind. You will experience a combination of guided meditation\, exploring in-place\, meandering over short distances\, and one steep uphill walk. Slow down\, de-stress\, and be inspired by nature in this unique opportunity to connect on a full moon. \nForest immersion– or “forest bathing” as translated literally from “shinrin-yoku”– is an established public health practice in Japan. It is a growing global wellness movement backed by more than 30 years of scientific research on the physical and mental benefits of mindfully immersing yourself in nature. \nThe Full Moon Forest Immersion is offered in partnership with Amanda Kenyon of Landkind Guide. Visit landkindguide.com for more information about Amanda and forest immersion. \nThis event is for anyone interested in a meditative outdoor practice. The recommended minimum age is 15. Space is limited and advance registration is required to reserve your spot.
