Offered by Alex Julie
Topic: Reconnecting with Nature Through Water to Create a Life-Sustaining Society for All Beings
The Ocean is the source of all life on our planet, and it can also be a fertile ground for deep embodied insight. With our Ocean on the brink of climate induced collapse, the urgency of reconnection has never been greater. Join Awake in the Wild meditation teacher Alex Julie as he shares how bringing his practice into the water has helped him find purpose and belonging in this era of separation, and how insights into emptiness and interbeing can fuel resilience and action on behalf of all beings.
Alex Julie (he/they) is an Awake in the Wild meditation teacher specializing in contemplative nature practice. He is a director of the Mind Body Ecology Institute and the founder of Underwater Meditative Immersion (UMI). He received EcoDharma training at the Rocky Mountain EcoDharma Retreat Center, as well as EcoSattva training through One Earth Sangha. He is currently training in Buddhist Eco-Chaplaincy through the Sati Center for Buddhist Studies. He is a RYT-200 yoga instructor and has a background in regenerative economics and investing.
Alex draws his inspiration from wild spaces and believes our stories of separation from the Earth lie at the heart of the twin mental health and climate crises. As a cis, white man, he is committed to lifelong learning in social justice and equity.
In his free time, Alex enjoys backpacking with his son and dog, writing poetry and playing music. Alex lives in the South Platte watershed, Denver, Colorado, the unceded territory of the Cheyenne, Ute, and Arapaho peoples.
