• MINDFUL OF NATURE

Deepening our
connection to
nature & ourselves

Nature has the power to restore what modern life often fragments — our attention, our well-being, and our sense of connection. Through mindfulness-based nature programs we help people reconnect with themselves, each other, and the living world around them.

Our Founder

Rooted in thirty years
of meditation in the wild

Mindful of Nature draws on the work and teachings of Mark Coleman — Buddhist meditation teacher, nature retreat leader, and author of Awake in the Wild. Mark has led over a hundred nature meditation retreats worldwide and trained more than 100 nature meditation teachers over the past two decades. His lifelong synthesis of mindfulness practice and deep love of the natural world is the heart of everything Mindful of Nature does.

“When we attune to nature with sensitivity,
we can see just how connected we are.”
