From the very beginning, the Buddha was intimately connected to the Earth. He left his home, lived in the forest, meditated in nature and awakened under a tree next to a river. When Mara questioned his enlightenment, the Buddha didn’t say anything. He simply touched the earth as witness to his awakening.

Communication and Planning
  • Interested members of the RIM Sangha are invited to register for the group
  • Registered members will receive an email approximately 3 weeks in advance with details about the next planned hike and a follow-up reminder 1 week before the event.
Other Considerations
  • Each of the monthly outings will take about 75 minutes, including a hike, meditation, and time to discuss the experience.
  • Group members must have the physical ability to hike on uneven terrain for about 45 minutes.  The pace will be slow, and the trails will be relatively easy.
  • Participants are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, dress for changing weather, and bring a water bottle.
  • Participants are responsible for their own transportation to/from the park and for potential park entrance fees.
Reference materials ~ optional:
  • Mark Coleman - A Field Guide to Nature Meditation
  • Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone - Active Hope
  • Robin Wall Kimmerer - Braiding Sweetgrass
