Modern culture separates us from nature in a wide variety of ways. Among other things, we are insulated from shifting seasons by air conditioning that keeps us comfortable year-round and by modern grocery stores that allow us to purchase any produce we desire during any season. Electric lighting makes it possible to almost forget when the days get shorter. We live in a sort of perpetual artificial summer. The goal of this morning is to root participants more fully into the land of the Earth and Spirit Center.

Class Description

This morning is designed to reawaken participants to the living land. We will begin by honoring the Kentucky of the past by sharing our personal memories rooting us in this land, as well as learning about past inhabitants- both human and other-than-human. Participants will then learn to connect with the living present moment. Through meditation and a variety of mindfulness practices (developing a sit spot, learning bird language, etc.), participants will awaken to what it is like to be fully alive in Kentucky at the present moment. We will finish with gratitude for the land as well as look forward to practical ways we can care for the future of Kentucky.
