See all- Eco-Spirituality & Meditation Meetup - Walk, Listen & Breathe670 Folly Brook Blvd, Wethersfield, CT
Our unique non-sectarian eco-meditation group offers walking, listening, and breathing meditation, with aspirational prayers for all beings and Mother Earth. We will be meeting at a beautiful forest in the heart of Central Connecticut, under the guidance of Buddhist teacher, Reverend Daishin (Glenn) Senpai. Engaging with mindfulness practices, you will be able to feel the interconnectedness of nature through the magical presence of the forest: the singing of the birds, the scurrying of squirrels and chipmunks, the croaking of frogs, the life force of the trees, and the silence of the whispering breeze.
Since our group is non-denominational, and meditation is a human practice rather than a religious one, this group is open to anyone interested in practicing mindfulness in an enchanting forest with other like-minded people. Open to all: meditators and non-meditators, Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Non-religious, and everyone else.
