Rediscover the magic of a rainy dawn.

The world sounds different when it’s damp.
While most people retreat indoors when the clouds roll in, we are leaning into the silver light and soft drizzle of a Kansas spring morning. This is a 5-sense immersion into the unique "hush" that only a rainy dawn can provide. We are gathering to sit, absorb the atmosphere and find a deep sense of presence as the prairie wakes up.

The Experience: Sensory Stillness
In the quiet of a chilly, rainy morning, we'll find 'sit spots' to simply be. Without the glare of the sun, our other senses take over. We'll lean into the stillness to catch the movement of birds in the brush and list to the music of the rain. Whether we stay in one spot or take a slow, mindful path depends entirely on the rhythm of the rain clouds. Our primary goal is to remain still enough to let nature and presence come to us.

The 5 Sense Journey: I invite you to......
Listen: The rhythmic patter of rain and the crisp bird calls from the canopy
Smell: The deep, earthy scent of the soil drinking in the moisture
Feel: The cool mist, drops or dew on your skin
Watch: The 'silver hour' light revealing colors that only show up when the world is wet.
Taste: The freshness of the morning air or the literal freshness of nature's recycled water

What to bring:
Rain gear: jacket, poncho and boots
Towels: to dry off
Spirit of Adventure: Curiosity and love for the wild side of a rainy morning
Favorite morning brew

I'll see you in the wild!
