The Buddha. The Elements. The Trees. The Birds

Two ways of going for a walk in the park, along a track, in the woods, on a beach and more.

1. Going for a MINDFUL WALK
2. Going for a walk.

There is a significant difference between 1 and 2.

1. A Mindful Walk includes focus, purpose and inquiry. Such a walk ensures contact with the elements – earth, air, earth, temperature, water (rain, river, drinking water) and space. You give your full attention to a tree or a bird. What are features of nature telling you? Are you listening? Experience the aliveness of life.
2. Lacks passionate interest in the immediacy of what surrounds you.

Dharma teachings and practice emphasise a deep engagement with elemental life – an indispensable feature of the process towards full awakening.

Our Day of Practice invites a regular return to our intimacy with the living world, for renewal, wellbeing and emergence out of worldly pressures.
