Relaxing in Nature: Outdoor Listening, Movement, and Meditation Practices

Presented by Elizabeth Lewis

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you.” 

Job 12:7-8

“Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Earth our Mother who sustains and governs us…”

St. Francis of Assisi

Being in nature can provide a felt sense of spiritual peace, connection and renewal. Time spent in nature is also a powerful stress-reliever with measurable benefits that include decreased heart rate, blood pressure and sympathetic nerve activity. 

Come explore the healing and renewing practices of listening, walking and gazing nature meditation within the peaceful and inspiring beauty of St. Anthony’s Spirituality Center’s water and woods. Wear comfortable shoes; plan for rain or shine.
