Journey to Nature

We will spend the day among the Los Padres Hills, connecting with the nature spirits. Part of the day will be spent in silent walking meditation, part of it with chanting, and part in themed discussions with a walking partner. Because our forests are our cathedrals: Yoga and Ecology is a vital part of the DiviniTree curriculum- what better place to focus on this crucial topic? Yoga Activation: How can we take our yoga off the mat and create cultural change? A discussion and opportunity to use our voice to speak our intentions with a supportive community. Those who are journeying on for the whole training set their intentions for their yoga activation project!
