Description
A Conversation with Nature with Mellissa Morris
Join CCAC instructor, Mellissa Morris, for a guided mind-body integration experience to evoke your creativity and replenish your senses. With gentle presence and kindness Mellissa will take you on an immersive journey through your outer and inner self on an excursion out to Sandy Neck. Mellissa will teach you and lead you to create “art” in dialogue with the Sandy Neck environment and natural elements. Guided prompts, meditations, and insights as to how to re-connect with your playful sensibilities, encounter the world through fresh eyes, an open heart, and restore yourself.
Mellissa invites you to explore shoshin’ philiopshy. Shoshin is a Zen Buddhist concept meaning “beginner’s mind”. It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and a lack of preconceptions when studying something, even if you are at an advanced level. It’s about approaching new experiences with the curiosity and enthusiasm of a novice.
NO PREVIOUS ART or MEDITATION EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Excursions are from 9am-12pm.
