Meditation In The Woods at Redwood Regional Park

Enact some self-care and meet EB CAMFT members by joining us for meditation in Redwood Regional Park. 

Craig Toonder is coordinating this event. Please email him at ctoondermft@gmail.com with any questions about this event.

Logistics:

• The meet up time will be 9:30am in the parking lot.

• At 9:45am we will take a short hike to the restrooms and then to the meditation site.

• Once we settle in, there will be a short introduction and then a 30-minute sitting meditation.

• After the meditation we will have an optional “tea time” to socialize and get to know one another.
  
  

What to bring: 

• Clothes - Bring layers with you because the Redwoods often have microclimates.

• If there is fog the trees will drip water. So please bring a raincoat and warm clothes!

• Bring something to sit on - blanket, tarp, zafu, kneeling bench, camping chair, etc.

• If you want to stay for tea, the tea party is a “tea-pot-pot-luck-party”. Please bring your own mug, if you can, and tea to share, if you have a thermos. If you are a coffee drinker, feel free to bring that instead. If you only have a travel mug, you are welcome to bring tea for one.

• Craig has two thermoses and will be bringing two types of tea. He also has 6 camping mugs. If you have extra travel or camping mugs, please bring them if you are comfortable sharing.

IMPORTANT WARNING
We have been having issues with Maps sending people to the wrong location. Prior to the event, please ensure that Maps is sending you to the parking lot 170 feet from the Chabot Space Center, and that the parking lot is between Oakland Pal Camp and Chabot. Both of these locations are on Google Maps.

Craig’s cell phone does not get service in the parking lot, so you will not the able to call him the day of the event.

Parking Fee: Free
Restrooms: There is a restroom at Redwood Bowl Picnic Spot
