About the Listen to Nature Outdoor Meditation Series

This free outdoor series is inspired by the book Listen to Nature by Sri Chinmoy (with foreword by Jane Goodall).

Each session features guided meditation, an active (but non-strenuous) nature walk and a fun nature-oriented activity. 

Sunday, May 4: For this session, we’ll walk along the beautiful Mesa College Peace trail (which has been dedicated as a Sri Chinmoy Peace Trail) adjacent to the campus. (Follow directions to “Mesa College Nature Trail South Trailhead.” We’ll gather there (parking on Mesa College Circle).

In addition to the walk, we’ll do guided meditation and (with supervision from Trail Master Ron Sandvik) paint and dedicate a Peace Stone, Gratitude Stone, and two Dream Stones on the trail.

How will you benefit from participation in the Listen to Nature series?

These meditation exercises and the collective outdoor experience can strengthen our ability to live in harmony with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. You’ll learn helpful techniques for stress management, habit change, and spiritual contentment. Plus, you’ll get a great dose of fresh air! The companion book (Listen to Nature by Sri Chinmoy) encourages spending time in nature and is an illuminating and ultimately hopeful guide for taking a spiritual approach to challenges that affect all humanity–such as the environmental crisis and divisive worldviews.
