About this event

In celebration of the Vernal Equinox, Sandy Wilson of Spirit of Dragonflies, LLC will lead a guided mindful walk on March 22 at Poestenkill Community Forest from 10am – 12:30pm. The vernal equinox marks one of two points in the year when the sun is directly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length. Come unplug, slow down, and connect with nature while tuning in to your senses.
 

During this group walk, you will have time for private communion with nature and an opportunity to express your experience with the group. Sandy will offer a series of mindfulness ‘invitations’ that will help you focus your awareness on your senses. Tea will be served after a mindful sit spot, prior to leaving the forest. Feel free to bring a notebook and pen.
 

Kripalu-Certified Mindful Outdoor Guide Sandy Wilson will guide our group to engage with nature in the present moment, as we experience it through all of our senses, to appreciate the complex wonders we often don’t notice when we are rushed or distracted. During this walk, we will be sauntering slowly on gently rolling forested trails.

What to expect & what to bring

This event will include periods of slow walking, mostly on trails, and may include periods of standing or sitting in the woods. Please remember to dress in weather-appropriate layers. We walk slowly and take time to sit and linger on these walks.

 

Please dress in layers, wear shoes that can get dirty, and be prepared for the changing weather. You are invited to bring a notebook and pen, however paper and pen will be provided. You may bring water and a snack if you like. Tea, cups, and sitting pads will be provided. No experience necessary - beginners are warmly welcomed.
