This poem was written by the attendees of the Mindful Immersion in Nature program on June 14th, 2024. The participants, hailing from all corners of the Dartmouth community, were asked to contribute one line of poetry reflecting on their experience immersing in a wild place on Dartmouth’s campus together.

Nature is presence, go out
Mosquitos in trees, and ants in grass
Tiny fairy house blood sucking mosquitos
Move you body, love you life, you are here now
Dance this Life
And so it begins, this becoming, this heart inducing love
Free, free oh so free to just be

The next Mindful Immersion in Nature event will take place July 12th. Hope to see you there!
