October yatras - mid-mountains


Now that the Olympics are over, the weather is calling us away from the TV: " Come outside! Enjoy the outdoors!" 


Golden wattle - 
a medal for survivors
of that cold winter

 
A yatra is a chance to practise mindfulness of the body. You will be walking in the tracks of mountains Aboriginal people. Here are the dates.

Sunday October 7:

Elders' yatra for those with physical limitations. We will walk in Lawson, Blue Mountains,  for about 1 - 2 hours, along easy gradients. There will be opportunities for seated meditation, and barefoot walking. I will tailor this walk according to health. About half a day.

Saturday October 13:

This yatra, for middlin' levels of fitness, involves about 5 hours of walking, boronia at full aromatic throttle, a waterfall and cave, and the above.  This walk begins at Linden and ends at Hazelbrook. A full day.

Cost: $20 plus dana (gift)
