BEAUTIFUL IS THE EARTH – Immersion day in Moesgaard forest

Immersion day in nature with Jeanette Lykkegård

This is an invitation to, with the support of nature, meditate together and practice presence.

We meet six mornings spread over a year so that we have the opportunity to experience the special qualities that characterize each of the four seasons.

With Moesgaard forest as our practice space, we will each move in silence through walking meditation, sitting meditation and gentle yoga stretches.

At some point we will find a place where we can eat the food we brought. Here we will explore together how to eat with presence. And occasionally include stories from other cultures that can support our communion with nature.

Practicing mindfulness outdoors can be intense; in winter we will inevitably feel the cold, in summer the forest mosquitoes may challenge, or it may rain. We take all of this – along with the beauty, the sun's rays, the treetops and the high sky – with us into the practice.

It is precisely these varying external landscapes and conditions that can be an aid to the movement inward: We feel the constant creative changeability of life very immediately in our surroundings, we feel a being in this creativity, we feel a spaciousness. What some population groups with deep contact with their surroundings call 'being alive with life'.
