Mindfulness of the Body, Mind and Heart with Nature

CE Hours 3

About this course

**One third of this course is experiential exercises where you will engage in meditation practice.** This course will explore the foundations of mindfulness with nature. By learning to practice mindfulness with nature we will awaken to experience the health of the body, mind, and heart. Nature is an ever-present expression of life in which we will explore various mindfulness meditation practices that will bring us into more intimacy and reciprocity with ourselves and the Earth. Mindfulness in nature is an opportunity to meet your inner conditions as they are- to learn to kindly relate and respond to live into your true nature and potential for healthy living. From this embodied understanding of connection with ourselves and the Earth, we will examine various ways these practices can be introduced into the therapeutic process to support the healing of various psychological conditions.
