Description:
“Be where you are, otherwise you will miss your life.” - Buddha
Practicing Presence involves deep observation, deep attentiveness and fully immersed action…this comes from a place within.
Over the years, I have - without having had a plan to do as such - spent more and more time during each day completely in the present. This is a simply wonderful way of being, not dredging through the past or projecting into the future; just completely absorbed in the present moment, fully alert and open to what each second holds. Without a doubt, being immersed in nature supports and helps us attain this state.
My personal foot in the door to this dimension, so to say, has had a great deal to do with spending many hours each week surrounded by the elements and natural world. Through various meditation methods I have learned both from Masters as well as instinctively, and practiced over the course of my life, I can guide you through what deepens connection for me, and which may also be an avenue for you…
Over time, I have in addition become progressively aware that the more I practice Permaculture methods from the heart and not the head - the more I realise that tuning into the pure magic and wonder of what is - the more humbling the experience, alive and connected to all life, I feel.
This has guided me to tap into our shared, universal heartbeat, and to respond to each task at hand on a level that is conducted by profound observation and intuition.
Being outdoors in all seasons and experiencing the joy each seasonal shift holds, opening a child-like curiosity to the world, experiencing the interconnectedness of all - I would like to share this with you if you feel the same!
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” - Rumi
Guided by:
LEONIE WOIDT-WALLISSER
After a laborious journey through the heights and depths of life’s experiences, I was hit by a metaphorical ‘bolt of lightning’ some time ago.
Times preceding this huge transformation lead me onto a new path - or should I say - the focus has been shifted from adding a spiritual element to what I do, to living and breathing this spirituality.
We all in essence are the life breath and consciousness of the Universe: and if you are reading this, and feel it resonate with you on whatever level, you may be aware that you are also drawn to this connection.
I welcome you with a full heart to partake on this journey together.

How do the Nature Meditation days differ from Cityplot Workdays?
The Cityplot Workdays take place on each Tuesday from April - October. The focus on these days is learning by doing, through Permaculture methods in the landscape. There is usually a spoken explanation of what requires doing in any particular week, a demonstration, and then the task is carried out. As regular attendees become familiar with specific tasks, they will be called on to explain and demonstrate to others.
Both the Cityplot Workdays as well as the Nature Meditations provide practice in and around the Permaculture landscape. The Cityplot Workdays, however, are more social, as we are not engaged in silence - and are focused on learning about the practice of Permaculture. More information here
