Love: The Heart of Compassionate Participation in Our World

a contemplative community gathering

IN-PERSON at Berkshire Botanical Garden

Saturday, February 10th @ 4 - 5pm

Members: $15 / Non-Members: $25

REGISTRATION: Berkshire Botanical Garden

Join us for a community meditation gathering open to all adults (no experience needed), exploring cultivating a heart-centered life in relationship with the Earth, and each other. During this time together facilitated by our meditation-in-nature guide Sandrine Harris, we'll explore brief practices, have meaningful conversations, and invite our whole selves (body-heart-mind) into investigating love as a skillful path to compassionate participation in our world.

*No meditation experience is needed to join us, and we will not be in a single, hourlong guided meditation. There will be pauses, walking (optional), sitting, and conversation. All adults (18+ yrs) are welcome to join us via advance registration.

She offers a connective and unfolding process within the Berkshires through regular community programs at The Trustees’ properties, Berkshire Natural Resources Council properties, and the Berkshire Botanical Garden. Sandrine is also a somatic (body-centered) practitioner offering private sessions to process trauma and chronic pain, and workshops/trainings internationally. She is based in the southern Berkshires, and is nourished by meditative experiences outdoors. Her process is collectively known as Emergent Nature.
