SUMMARY:Summer Meditative Hike to Hook Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Summer Meditative Hike to Hook Mountain\, Rockland Lake State Park\n \nwith Lin Gordon\n \nSaturday\, July 13th 2019 | 8:15am – 3:00pm\n \n\n  \n“In every walk in Nature\, one receives far more than he seeks.” -John Muir\, naturalist \nEnjoy a summer day in the peaceful beauty of the Hudson Valley with a guided\, meditative hike to connect with nature and ourselves.  \nMuch of the hike will be observed in silence but we will integrate meditation practices throughout the day — allowing our senses to come alive and our sense of separateness fall away. Turning our attention inward allows us to become receptive to both of our outer and inner experiences. The dynamic outdoor conditions will be a perfect container for mindfulness practices. \nThe hike takes the scenic route along the Long Path—into the Rockland Lake State Park and up Hook Mountain (698 ft). Enjoy expansive vistas only 1.5 hours outside of the city\, and an extraordinary space designated by the New York Audubon Society as an Important Bird Area. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\n \nMore Details\nThe hike will be approximately from 10am – 3pm\, with stops for meditation practices and an hour long lunch break.
