UPDATE: Due to Covid-19 these sessions are limited to 25 people who are willingly to honor social distancing recommendations and maintain 6ft distance as well as wear a mask when in proximity to others. In addition I ask you to refrain from attending class if you have flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough or difficultly breathing, or if you have had close physical contact with a symptomatic person. When you register to attend you will be asked to agree to these terms.

One of the most compelling ways to connect and commune with the land we call home is to establish a relationship with the landscape. To slow down and tune into one place…listening, witnessing, and opening to the luminous points where currents intertwine and life emerges. 

Spring is a beautiful time to be with the ever shifting landscape of Minnehaha. Week by week the raging waterfall and rapids begin to settle while migratory birds rest temporarily on their flight north. Swamp milkweed follows the first of the skunk cabbage, while ephemeral blooms come and go across the forest floor in brief, yet perceptible moments of time.

For years I have delighted in this glorious showcase of life and invite you to join me in opening your hearts to this land and all the beings that live, grow, and thrive within this landscape!

WHEN:
Every Monday through June 22, 12-1pm
*Stay for as little or long as you are able - this time is yours…to connect with the land, body to body, and commune with the greater web of life of which we are a part!

WHERE:
Minnehaha Falls Regional Park (SEE UPDATE ABOVE)
*We will meet in the Glens Area at noon to ground and connect with one another. (To find our meeting spot, follow the falls to the small wading area just over the first bridge or take the stairway down from the Hiawatha gardens).

Regardless of how often you have been to the park, I invite you to sense and feel as if with new eyes...to come into contact with the environment as if for the first time. Allow your heart to guide you to one place and consider returning to this “sit spot” week after week to commune with it’s pulse and the beings that live and thrive there. Stay for 20 minutes or as long as you are able, returning to the group (if desired) to share what was noticed, sensed, or experienced while we collectively witness the multitude of ways life reveals itself through Place. This sharing can be done through verbal sharing or movement.

REGISTRATION IS APPRECIATED to keep track of our group size. Send me an email if you’d like to join!

*These sessions are FREE and open to those who are interested in gathering with the intention of knowing place - body to body - and weaving the threads of interconnection with this land we call home.

I invite you to make a donation to support the efforts of those doing work in our community to steward the land, re-weave the sacred, and uplift the well being of the culture/stories/communities of the Dakota and Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) people. Division of Indian Work, Migizi, Ampers
