After a short break, participants will be invited to either participate in a walking or sitting observation of the month’s feature element in the () landscape. Upon return, the group may reflect upon the interaction of the featured element and the senses humans utilize to observe or activate response in relation to the effects of the element in both the external and internal environments. The class will close with a second, breath focused practice.
