Meditation Closer to Nature

A Morning of Meditative Practice in the Forest

with Ola & Ateeka

Welcome to a monthly deepening with meditation closer to nature. As we meet and open our senses to the ever-changing elements of nature, weather and light . . . we can also lean into the open and ever-changing nature of our inner-territory.

The practice location is about 1 hour outside of Oslo direction Kongsvinger. You will need your own car to arrive. Public transport does not arrive here. The forest is in a bomvei - so you will need to pay 50 kr. total (in & out for bom)

  • We plan to walk in nature in almost any kind of weather . . . rain or shine or even falling snow. Only in the case of VERY severe weather, the date will be changed.

  • Our sitting practice will be either inside or outside depending on the weather conditions. The location is a old forest saeter . . . Be prepared to have a cozy, rustic morning. There is not inside running water. Toilet is an “utdas” (out-house).

  • The inside space we use for meditation is also frequented by our family pets, dog and cat (for who may have animal allergies).

  • We ask for all participants to be very HEALTH responsible - and if you are feeling unwell or have any symptoms related to COVID-19 to please stay at home.

  • Please respect social distancing and let us greet each other with open hearts and smiles - saving hugs and handshakes for another moment.
