Walking Meditation Class in Nature

Meet other people interested in learning how to be more mindful in every day activities.

The benefits of meditation, also known as being mindful are widespread. Mindfulness has been found to help in the following areas:

- Regulate Mood
- Enhance Sleep
- Restore and Rejuvenate one's immune system
- Decrease perceptions of stress
- Cultivate compassion toward oneself and others

Being mindful entails sensing what is, even sensing your judgments, and noticing that these sensations, these images, feelings, and thoughts, come and go.  There is no particular goal, no effort to "get rid" of something, just the intention to be, and specifically, to experience being in the moment as one lets go of grasping onto judgments and goals.  

Many people struggle with a sitting meditation practice and therefore walking meditation can be an easier first step to take in becoming more mindful.

This is an 8-week class that will meet in San Francisco in the Presidio. The class will meet for an hour, incorporating the breath, rhythm, images, words, and nature.

This class is open to any age and or fitness level. We walk in a circle so that people can go at a pace that works for them.

Looking forward to having you be a part of this wonderful class!
