Nature As Beloved, Nature As Self

Bonus: Guided Wilderness Contemplative Prayer

Listen Later

In this short bonus episode, listeners are guided through a practice of Wilderness Contemplative Prayer. This guided prayer and meditation invites you to step into a quiet, sacred space—a space where you can breathe, be still, and gently return to yourself and the Presence that holds all things. Whether you're beginning your day, in the midst of a busy season, or simply need a pause, let this be your gentle return to your center.

Practice Suggestions:

  • Find a quiet space and comfortable posture. 
  • Begin by taking a few deep breaths before pressing play
  • Let your thoughts come and go without judgment.
  • Use this meditation as a morning ritual, midday pause, or evening reflection
  • If something rises in you—emotion, clarity, resistance—greet it kindly and without judgement.
