Sitting with Nature

Ten places and nothing else — ocean, rain on a roof, thunder a long way off, a brook, wind in the pines. You choose where to sit and how long for, from one minute to twenty, and a bell opens and closes it.

  • 10 places
  • 1 to 20 minutes, your choice
  • Teacher: None — no voice, no instruction
  • Tradition: Silent sitting
