We are very excited for Mindfulness to return to the Dallidet garden for the third year in a row! This year our excellent instructors will be offering two different courses each week in June.
On Thursdays, an introduction to mindfulness, an opportunity for silent contemplation. The first portion of the class will be the same each week, the second portion will expand on a variety of methods of guided meditation. Instructors: Kelli and Leslie
On Tuesdays, a new course will bring you the opportunity to increase your well-being by deepening your connection to nature in community. Instructor: Kelli
Sessions are offered on a sliding scale from $5 to $30. Suggested donations are $15. Nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Please call the History Center at 805-543-0638 if you have questions.

Mindfulness in the gardens
Mindfulness is a type of meditation without dogma that is simple and suitable for anyone. The foundation of our work lies in the natural environment. We actively include nature as a co-creator of the calming benefits of our retreats. Dallidet Gardens is an ideal setting and offers a superior enhancement for the participants’ experiences of getting more in touch with themselves.
Engage your senses - sound, sight, touch - by sitting, walking and exploring in silent contemplation. Discover how the garden provides a naturally supportive setting. Learn how easy and effortless mindfulness can be. Your skilled guides will help you to enjoy this 1½ hour fresh, yet timeless, approach. All ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities are encouraged to participate in this open, accepting space. We will be observing safety protocols for Covid-19, including limiting the class size and engaging in social distancing. Please bring your mask and be prepared to wear it. Dallidet Adobe & Gardens 1185 Pacific Street, San Luis Obispo info@historycenterslo.org Courses run from 8:30 am to 10:00 on Thursdays.

Reconnecting to Nature
Weekly 90 minute outdoor drop-in sessions will be an organic exploration of nature-based practices based on being present to the needs of our times. Practices will be partially inspired by ecophilosopher Joanna Macy’s book “The Work that Reconnects”.
We will allow nature, along with participants’ interests, to help set the theme each Tuesday. Potential activities may include embodiment practices, mindful movement, creative play, inquiry and dialogue, reflective journaling, poetry and art. This event is for you, especially if you have a longing to interact with the natural world with the playfulness of childhood, want to ease distress and increase hope in the face of our climate crisis, or simply feel like being mindful outside with others. All ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities are encouraged to participate in this open, accepting space. We will be observing safety protocols for Covid-19, including limiting the class size and engaging in social distancing. Please bring your mask or equivalent in order to cover your mouth and nose. Come join a journey of healing from the stress of modern life by returning to nature! Dallidet Adobe & Gardens 1185 Pacific Street, San Luis Obispo info@historycenterslo.org Courses run from 8:30 am to 10:00 on Tuesdays.
