When we turn our attention to the sensory, natural world around us, mindfulness practice can become easeful and expansive. Nature allures awareness through her beauty, and range of dynamic, enchanting experience.

Tune in from any peaceful environment outdoors with an internet connection, or indoors, ideally with a view of the outdoors.
