We will meet 2 times:

• June 1 - June 21, you will practice on your own at your personal sit spot in nature.

What is a “Sit Spot?”

A special place outside that feels safe and comfortable for you to sit in that you will visit daily fora period of 20 minutes or longer

A place free of distractions like cell phones, to-do lists, or computers

A place that is easy for you to get to

What do I “do” at my sit spot?

·     At our first meeting, I will guide you through some sensory and somatic practices to help you get grounded and present at your sit spot

·     At your sit spot, you will revisit these practices or simply observe with all of your senses what is happening

·     After your 20 minutes or longer, you may decide to record your observations/reflections in a journal or even snap photos of things that you observed
