Walking As A Meditative Practice
With Jonathon StallsThroughout this 6-part course, we will expand our inner and outer connection to meditative walking (or rolling if you use a wheelchair). In addition to a simple and flexible structure, we'll move through tangible planning tips, location ideas, hosting options for pairs and groups, and a variety of add-on practices. After this course, you will expand your relationship to the benefits of walking and gain tangible next steps for nourishing a personal and shared practice. There is light music playing in the background throughout each lesson by Liborio Conti. I highly suggest slowly moving outside with a small notebook while listening to each lesson.
Tools, example practices, planning tips, and more to expand one's inner and outer connection to unhurried movement as a meditative practice.
