Walking the Sacred Path
A Day of Mindfulness, Meditation, and Earth Connection
In the rush of daily life, it is easy to lose touch with the quiet wisdom that lives within us. Walking the Sacred Path is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with the Earth, and deepen your relationship with Spirit through presence, reflection, silence and mindful awareness.
Held on the beautiful grounds of Sacred Mountain, this one-day gathering offers a sacred space to step away from distractions and immerse yourself in practices that nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Through guided mindfulness exercises, meditation, contemplative reflection, times of silence and walking through the labyrinth, participants will explore what it means to be fully present with themselves and the world around them.
The labyrinth serves as a powerful tool for contemplation and transformation. Unlike a maze, there are no wrong turns. Its winding path gently guides us inward, inviting us to release what no longer serves us, receive insight and guidance, and return with greater clarity and purpose.
This day is an opportunity to step away from the noise, listen deeply, and reconnect with the wisdom that emerges when we create space for stillness. T
hrough mindful practices and connection with the Earth, we remember that the sacred is always available to us—in each breath, each step, and each moment of awareness.
Tuition for the Day is $125

FLOW of the Day
Gathering & Carpooling
Participants will meet at a designated location in Boise and carpool to Sacred Mountain. The drive becomes an opportunity to begin slowing down, leaving behind the pace of everyday life, and preparing to enter sacred space.
Creating Sacred Circle
Upon arrival, participants will gather in sacred circle to open the day. Through intention setting, grounding practices, and connection with the land, a container will be created to support mindfulness, reflection, and spiritual presence.
Teachings on Mindfulness & Sacred Silence
Through teachings, discussion, and guided practices, participants will explore mindfulness as more than a technique—it is a way of being. Together, we will examine how presence, awareness, and sacred silence can deepen our relationship with ourselves, the Earth, and Spirit.
Walking the Labyrinth
The labyrinth offers an opportunity to experience mindfulness in motion. As participants walk its winding path, they are invited to release distractions and return again and again to the present moment.
Meditation at Nashotah
Following the labyrinth walk, the group will gather at Nashotah for a guided meditation. Surrounded by the beauty and stillness of the land, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their practice of listening, presence, and connection.
Mindful Lunch
Lunch will be shared in silence and mindfulness. This practice invites participants to slow down, engage their senses, and experience gratitude for the nourishment they receive.
Reflection & Integration
The afternoon will include time for reflection, journaling, and integration. Participants will be invited to notice what has emerged throughout the day and consider how these insights may be carried into daily life.
Closing Labyrinth Walk & Sacred Circle
The day will conclude with an optional final labyrinth walk, followed by a closing circle. This time offers an opportunity to integrate the experiences of the day, express gratitude, and prepare for the journey home.
Participants will leave with simple mindfulness practices, a deeper connection to themselves and the natural world, and a renewed appreciation for the power of presence.
About the Land & Nashotah
Sacred Mountain has been held in prayer and reverence for nearly forty years, a sanctuary for peace, healing, and communion with the natural world.
Nashotah—a cob-built chapel infused with hundreds of crystals—serves as a living grid of prayer and song, continually nourished by the daily meditations of the Sacred Mountain Monastery community.
The monastery is non-denominational, rooted in the Five Truths of Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Light, and Abundant Enthusiastic Life.
Each day, they offer the Metta Prayer, blessing that:
May all beings have fresh, clean air to breath
May all beings have fresh, clean water to drink
May all beings have good food to eat
May all beings have a home
May all beings have someone to share love with
May all beings know their true purpose
May all beings be well and happy
May all beings be free from suffering
