Offered by Kirsten Rudestam and Tanya Wiser, this is a silent, nature-based Vipasanna meditation retreat centered around understanding the body, heart and mind through the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and space. A foundational practice taught by the Buddha, orienting to the elements as fundamental components of the human experience is found in Indigenous cultures, spiritual practices and religious traditions around the world. We will be camping along the Wind River in the Columbia River Gorge, a beautiful setting to cultivate a deeper connection with the natural world and bring the elements alive in our awareness and direct experience. Practice periods will include silent and guided sitting, walking meditation, and Dharma talks. To learn more click here or email elementsnaturedharma@gmail.com
