Joy & Meditation: A Day In Nature
Guided by Larissa
Mental and physical rest, Michigan summer, community connection, PLUS delicious food and optional sauna hot/cold plunge?? YES, PLEASE!!!
Join us on August 28th from 10a-4p for a day of rest, connection to yourself, nature, and community. We can’t wait to build community in nature with you!
Meditation is not different from going to the beach! It’s rest, connection, enjoyment, slight irritations (maybe a sunburn or bug bite or two 🙂, awe and wonder, and self-care. Meditation is learning how to hold all of this in your awareness with tenderness, lightness, and clarity. One of the many benefits of being outdoors is that nature is one of our greatest teachers in our meditation practice. Mother Earth holds us with so much wisdom and delight; it helps us get out of our brilliant minds for a few moments and simply enjoy being in a human body.
We’d love to invite you into our Day in Nature to explore meditation through silent contemplative practices, nature connection, and community support. Larissa will offer several nature-based meditation practices, both guided and solo, and time to rest and explore the land and care for your whole being. This day includes a nourishing *ayurvedic lunch, and the option to enjoy sauna, cold plunge tub, hot tub, and outdoor shower.
We’ll be in Sparta, MI and will have access to a beautiful, air-conditioned sanctuary, or you can be outside all day communing with nature on 37 acres, including a cold stream, bog walk, labyrinth walk, medicine garden, and so much more! We’ll end the day at 4pm with an outdoor sound bath and a gratitude offering to the land.
You are freely invited to stay beyond 4pm for more nature, snacks, sauna, and community connection with Larissa (our beloved director here at Funky Buddha) and one another.
*The ayurvedic lunch is a traditional kitchari recipe, which is plant-based, gluten-free, and will include dairy-free yogurt and other traditional toppings. Chicken will be optional on the side. We’ll also have fresh fruit, date caramel, and coconut whipped cream for a delicious treat included.
