Beginning Moving Meditation - A FREE Class for the Community

With Aletia
Find yourself centered before you begin your day with this contemplative practice that includes a walk in the natural beauty of Fort Worden.   This FREE class is an introduction to Moving Meditation (above) with the extra spice of taking the meditative mind outdoors to explore Fort Worden State Park with a walk to the lighthouse.  All abilities welcome.  A bell will start the class with a seated or lying down meditation (chair is encouraged if needed), followed by a 15 to 20 min. gentle stretch to music and the final bell will encourage you to take your contemplative practice outdoors to refresh the lungs and body with nature.

Feel free to bring a friend (including your dog-on leash).
 

Moving Meditation

With Aletia
As our own life presents opportunities for growth, celebration and forgiveness our internal master holds space for stillness and acceptance. Moving Meditation celebrates that interior landscape – a place where you can sharpen and explore your own pause practice. Move and flow to soft rhythm while holding your own wisdom. This practice questions… How do I engage that vital spark of SOUL, listen with gentle courage and gratitude, and share it in an authentic voice with the world? One answer: Take a step and give it expression through movement.
