Building heat (Tapas) through effort like hiking before meditation is great preparation to help the mind slow its roaming tendencies. Tapas  the practice of putting effort into an activity to create heat and ultimately more vitality.  This can be done simply by sitting in a more upright position while meditating, or by doing physical activity like yoga or hiking.  Doing tapas before we meditate opens our senses and churns our energies to prepare us for a more centered meditation.  In this class we will be practicing tapas with a hike up the hill  at the  beautiful SLO Botanical Garden before our outdoor meditation practice.

IMPORTANT: This will be offered every 1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month.
