Meditation Walks in Tas
Sun 08 Nov, 2009 5:33 pm
Some time ago a few of us dreamt up this trip ... (@ http://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2695)
Time to report on what happened and show some of Jill's & Ross' pics! (Thx for permission J & R
)
Quite a few were interested at various stages (15 or so methinks).
In the end 4 actually went, several others couldn't make it coz of illness or work or still not back from the mainland or just back from overseas and too much to catch up on and ... ...
...
Sooo ... Jill, Ross, Antoinette & meself got going as planned ...
At the start, the gate opposite Lune River Railway.
... says Ross 'Gate, Gate , Parasamgate ...'.
... says Antoinette 'How did they know?????' (This is funny if you know a bit about Zen )
At Southport Lagoon, below the knoll where we camped.
Grand views towards the SW with snow on peaks.
Sunrise.
Gazing quietly.
The walk started off with a theme 'What is the Quest?' ... this evolved over the days ...
Quite a bit of inspired readings were had and poetry shared. Haikus started sprouting forth from Ross' & Jill's fertile minds ... very nice!
A most luvly walk & retreat it was, with great company.
Will do more of the same, 'first of many hopefully' as Jill said.
PS:
Haiku by Ron ...
... and by Ross ...

I'm planning a 4 day meditation bushwalk at Southport Lagoon over the Hobart Show Day Long Weekend 22-25/10/09.
Features of Southport Lagoon Reserve include sea beaches that don't get all that many visitors any more since the 4WD track has been closed, 2 significant lagoons, quite a lot of luvly open coastal bush, being close to the Recherche Bay 'French Garden' and plenty of bird life.
I've put a few ideas on how a meditation bushwalk could work at http://ahack.org (Meditation Walks & Bush Camps).
If anyone is interested, we'd probably have a meeting beforehand to sort out details and to make sure that we plan this in a way that everyone can comfortably participate.
Would be luvly to hear from anyone who might want to join this trip or who may be interested in doing similar trips in the future.

When i travel to places with natural view i love to meditate as the fresh air and amazing green land view help a lot.
These places are the perfect for meditation practices i learned that in the courses i recently attend about meditation.
