Weekend of May 28-30, 2010

Simply Wild: Experiencing Nature

Steven Harper

I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down

into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,

how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,

which is what I have been doing all day.

Tell me, what else should I have done.

-Mary Oliver

The weekend is simple. We stroll through the wilds of Big Sur on hikes, soak in the natural mineral hot springs, eat good wholesome food, commune with ourselves, others, and nature. With the bare attention of awareness, and wilderness as our teacher we show up for our life as it unfolds moment to moment. We come into deep contact with the raw beauty of this mysterious world.

The group will venture out on two hikes 2- 6 miles in length. Simple practices that encourage awareness and contemplation (“how to be idle and blessed”) will be shared with the group as well as the wonders of the rich natural history of Big Sur. No previous experience in simplicity or nature is required. Further information will be sent upon registration.

($10 park-entrance fees paid directly to the leader)
