Join us as we use the process of fly casting as a tool for mindfulness. Fly casting is to fly fishing as archery is to bow hunting. It is a veritable art form whose cadence and repetitive nature has been likened to similar rhythmic processes used in therapy to promote positivity, calm and focus. Conducted on dryland, or a pond, without a hook, fly casting can become a form of meditation. 

In fact, each session begins and ends with a short 3-5 minute meditation on acceptance and letting go; a focus of this course is on the reduction of stress and frustration by seeing that there are no mistakes, only learning, and there is no perfection––only progress. We call it fishing for a reason because we are always fishing whether we catch or not: we consider nature and waters as a means of healing.

Session 1: 9:00AM – 10:15AM

Session 2: 10:30AM – 11:45AM
