Sound Bath by Kendall Harbour with Meditation in the Mountains -10:30am-12noon with Rev. Nancy Neal

Yoga – 9:30am-10:15am led by Liz Meeker, RYT-200 (register separately)
Join us on October 4th, from 10:30am-12noon for Meditation in the Mountains at the DAWN property. Whether this is your first visit or a familiar return, these gatherings offer a chance to step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with a deeper sense of peace and presence.
We’ll begin the morning with 30-50 of us gathered outdoors for a guided meditation led by Rev. Nancy Neal, Interfaith Minister at DAWN, offering a gentle invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and arrive fully in the present moment. As a special offering our meditation will include a deeply nourishing Sound Bath by Kendall Harbour a Sound journey Curator and Yoga RTT 200. After meditation, you’re invited to spend time on the land with a quiet walk, personal reflection, or simply resting in the peaceful surroundings. This unstructured time allows each person to connect with the space in their own way. When the drum is heard, we’ll gather once more to close our time together with reflection and blessing.
Liz Meeker, RYT-200, will offer gentle morning yoga from 9:30–10:15 for those who would like to arrive early and ease into the day with mindful movement and breath. This grounding practice is open to all levels and offers a supportive way to prepare both body and mind before meditation begins. Yoga is offered freely, and love offerings for our teachers are always received with gratitude.
Childcare: Not available for this date.
New to DAWN?
If you are new to Dawn or new to meditation, please know you are truly welcome here. There are no expectations and no experience required only a willingness to arrive as you are. Our gatherings typically bring together 35–50 people, each on their own path, yet sharing in a sense of peace, connection, and community.
What should I bring?
We meditate in chairs outdoors, but later you may wish to sit or lay down on the grass, so a blanket is optional. We recommend a hat as we typically are in the sun. Sturdy shoes and a water bottle are also a good idea but there are places to ground yourself barefoot if you choose. We will be in nature in the mountains, and the weather can vary so consider, depending on the time of year, sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, blanket, gloves, coat, etc. To check the weather use Cleveland, SC as your most accurate forecast but understand that mountain weather can change quickly.
Snacks and water will be provided.
*Weather cancellations – If you have registered you will receive an email, and we will indicate the cancellation on our website.
Dawn continues to be a volunteer-supported space, and your presence, participation, and quiet generosity help sustain these gatherings and the care of the land we are blessed to share.
