Spring Equinox: FREE Nature Walkabout (3/18)

Dhr. Seven, Cathy, Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Jen, Wisdom Quarterly

Breathing begins to move the prana/chi/qi.
It's Spring Equinox and Los Angeles finally has enough water and a snowline to green our hills and meadows.

Come enter the forest (sacred Hahamongna now Pasadena's Watershed Park) for a walkabout and art paint out.

Guard the land; it supports all
It honors the Tongva American-Indians. Meet Hahamongna Plant Nursery and Arroyo Seco Foundation's Tim Brick, the Conservancy's Tim Martinez, and others local land stewards and volunteers.

Learn about the local flora and fauna -- the healing plants, mushrooms, and wildlife of the foothills -- and have a special energy healing (Reiki and Jyorei) offered by Seven and Cathy.

As we gather near JPL and the Gabrielino Trail next to the Pasadena River (headwaters of the old Porciuncula* now the Arroyo Seco), we will sit, enjoy yogic ecstatic breathwork, energy healing, and socializing at our station.

  • *LA's original name, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, was El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula ("The Settlement of Our Lady Queen of the Angels of Porciuncula," the LA River named after St. Francis' church, Italy).
Buy local and plant local native plants.
(Yes, a large river runs through Pasadena even if few know about it and the city is doing much to divert and block it so that it nearly dries up before reaching the Rose Bowl.)

This riparian environment will be introduced to participants to protect local habitat and welcome spring.

Also happening on the grounds in the upper parking lot at the end of the entrance road is our friends' simultaneous event:
