RECONNECT WITH THE RHYTHMS OF WINTER AND THE WISDOM OF THE WILD
Slow down and attune to the quiet language of the natural world in this heart-centered journey through the winter landscape. Guided by the contemplative practice of wildlife tracking, explore the subtle signs of life etched into snow and earth—and the deeper tracks within yourself.
Join founder of the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership, Micah Mortali, and Ami Jean Aubin, Wildlife Tracker, Naturalist and Mindful Outdoor Guide, for a seasonal nature immersion including:
- Guided winter walks through the Kripalu campus
- Mindful tracking practices to awaken sensory awareness
- Developing tracking skills rooted in observation and curiosity
- Deepen connection to place through storytelling and ecological awareness
- Opportunities for quiet contemplation and connection
Blending naturalist awareness with mindfulness, this outdoor immersion invites you to walk gently through Kripalu’s forested trails and meadows, cultivating presence, curiosity, and reverence. Learn to read the stories left behind by our wild kin while deepening your connection to place, season, and soul.
Let each track become a doorway, each breath a return to the heart. Please join us.
