Drawing on the wisdom of rivers, forests, and the four elements, this talk explores how the natural world mirrors our own deepest nature - and how turning toward impermanence, non-clinging, and the wildness of our own hearts can become a path to freedom.
The Buddha's contemplation of the four elements — earth, water, fire, and air — offers a gentle but radical path: from the conceit of "my body" to the felt sense of being nature itself. A guided exploration of elemental awareness, grounded in retreat experience, Satipatthana practice, and the luminous body-wisdom of beloved poets.
