Explore the Buddha’s teachings on coming into living relationship with the natural world
Dharma teachings and practice emphasise a deep engagement with elemental life. We come alive – a feature of the process towards full awakening.
The Buddha’s path wasn’t formed in monasteries alone. Practitioners experience the great outdoors, under trees, among birds and open spaces.
The Buddha was born under a tree, realised enlightenment under a tree and died under a tree. He said that devas (divine beings, angels) of the elements, trees and birds speak to us, implying a deep interaction between a presence in nature and our consciousness.
He said birds were symbols of freedom as they fly through the sky – “leaving no trace, unattached and free from worldly issues.”
Our Day of Practice invites a regular return to our intimacy with the living world, for renewal, wellbeing and emergence out of worldly pressures.
Cost is sliding scale-based (suggested: $35).
