Short Course - Meditation for Connecting with Nature

Meditation for connecting with Nature is a short course, delivered via the Australian Centre for Meditation and Mindfulness, for those who are ready to awaken and open to the transformative, creative and healing power of the natural world.

Drawing on several concepts and philosophies including sacred ecology, biophilia, animism, secular mindfulness, Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) and reciprocity, you will learn:

• How to acknowledge and cultivate your relationship with nature.
• First Peoples wisdom, Western knowledge, and the concept of ‘sacred ecology’.
• The interweaving of nature in religion and spirituality over the centuries.
• Disconnection and the return to nature connection.
• Natures seasons, cycles, rhythms and phases. 
• Nature as your greatest teacher, and how to integrate nature into your practice and offerings. 
• Staying safe when leading groups in outdoor settings.

The course takes approximately 30 hours to complete, and includes all training resources and one half-hour coaching call.
