Meditate in Nature

"Nothing supports the opening of the heart and mind like the beauty, tranquillity, and silence of the natural world. When we meditate in nature, we bring a receptive presence to the natural world. It comes alive—and so do we.”

- Mark Coleman, from Spirit Rock Meditation Center, author of the book Awake in the Wild

About

Being in the Wild is born out of a love for meditation and nature. When meditating in nature, rarely are our senses more alive.  We cultivate a sense of “being” and a receptive presence.  Whether it is touching a tree bark, or hearing bird songs, or meandering on unknown paths, nature shows us the essence of our experiences and our world.  We experience physically, emotionally, and energetically that we are not separate, from each other, from animals and other beings, and from the Earth.

Lin Gordon has been practicing insight meditation in the last decade under the guidance of Jonathan Foust and Mark Coleman. In stillness and silence, she discovers the transformative power of mindfulness practices to help live a life of flow, joy, grace and gratitude.

In the last few years, Lin was particularly moved by the power of nature meditation practices to connect with a deep sense of well-being, tranquility, love and resilience.  She graduated from Mark Coleman’s Awake in the Wild Nature Meditation Teacher Training in 2017 and has since taught at New York Insight Meditation Center and around the country.  She is currently enrolled in the Spirit Rock’s Community Dharma Leaders Program (CDL6).

Our Senses

“The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

W. B. Yeats
