As the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and lends it light for the longest day of the year, come walk and breathe with intention in Pitney's gardens. The Summer Solstice welcomes the transition from growth-oriented action to nourishment and this walk will immerse your senses in how the abundant gardens are reaching their full shape, as summer arrives.
We will move through the gardens following the four parts of the breath starting at the northmost part of the garden, to symbolize the season of breath (the transition between the inhale and inhale hold) that we find ourselves in. As we breathe into the garden and relish the sounds and smell of this celebratory transition, the intention is for each ambler to move away with a relaxed focus for summer and a newfound appreciation for slow breaths, especially for the transition between the inhale and the inhale hold.
