About this Event
PLEASE READ ALL BELOW FOR PLANNINNG AHEAD
In this program I'll offer multiple guided meditations, walking meditation, and a few short talks on how we can adopt the lessons from nature for a healthier and happier mindset. This fall and winter season demonstrate resilience, patience, and how to let go. These will be the three key topics discussed througout our practice on the day. The route we'll be hiking will total approximately 5 miles round trip.
PARKING: On Crest Rd by St. John Fisher Church, this area offers free street parking.
8:00 AM : We will meet for this event on the corner of Crest Rd and Crenshaw Blvd. in front of St. John Fisher Church. We'll begin heading to the trailhead from there no later than 8:15 AM
I'll map out our route and the timing of our practices in order to have us back to St. John Fisher Church no later than 1:00 PM.

ABOUT ME:
As a meditation practitionner of over ten years, I've studied a variety of wisdom traditions and stress reduction techniques. My main focus of study has been Buddhist meditation and philosophy. Previoulsy I have led a meditation group for young adults in New Haven, CT. I've participated in multiple retreats and meditation training programs throughout the last 10 years. My day to day work is in the film industry as a director, cinematographer, and editor. One of my biggest passions is spending time in nature. I feel most connected and grounded when in touch with the natural world and it's why I decided to take this approach to my meditation teaching. Our connection to the earth is one of our strongest tools in maintaining our joy and peace.
