Celebrate the glory of autumn with a restorative, guided nature meditation at the meeting space in Mount Holly Preserve. It's a time for us to reflect on the land we inhabit and give thanks for nature's harvest.

We will meet at Mount Holly Preserve to share a seated meditation in the meeting space. Dedicating focus to each of the five senses, especially while outdoors, will help participants unify and balance their energy with the natural world.

This program is led by Catherine Downs, a Reiki Master Teacher and a certified Forest Therapy Guide from ANFT. This program is limited to 20 attendees. We recommend sturdy shoes, appropriate layers, and water. Attendees should also bring something to sit on — a blanket, cushion, beach chair, camp chair — and perhaps a hat (or any other props) for additional comfort during the seated meditation. Steady rain or other inclement weather will cancel.

All programs are FREE. Registration is appreciated at the link below 👇🏼

Our mysterious nocturnal animals are not so mysterious! Raccoons, flying squirrels, bats, owls, and many more all call the dark their home.
