A seven-day beginner journey
Seven days.
One tree to begin.
Start by looking. Learn to return your attention, explore a little movement, and take a noticing walk. Find a practice you want to return to.
Allow about five to ten minutes per visit, or less. The days are a suggested order, not a deadline: repeat, skip, or take a day off whenever you like. You can begin again without catching up.
A small beginning, close to home.
An ordinary tree is enough. Return to the same one when convenient, or meet another along the way. Each day includes practical steps, an option to adapt, and one reflection. Seated and stationary alternatives are part of the journey.
