Foundations
Beyond Thinking Mind
At Moving Mountain Academy, exploring our own depth and fullness means that we have to be willing to go Beyond Thinking Mind.
This doesn’t mean abandoning our intellectual brilliance, but combining it with the loving intelligence of the heart and the rooted wisdom of our body.
Meditation
Meditation is returning to presence—allowing everything to be exactly as it is, without control, effort, or expectation. By letting sensations, thoughts, and emotions move freely, we learn to rest as the space in which life unfolds.
Our Foundational Practices
Inquiry & Contemplation
Inquiry is sitting with essential questions in openness and presence. By allowing questions to deepen rather than resolve, we open ourselves to insight that arises beyond the thinking mind.
Nature Immersion
Nature immersion is a practice of remembering our belonging, our place in the web of life. As we slow down and listen with all our senses, the land begins to speak—not in words, but in a language the body remembers.
Effortless doesn't mean no effort; effortless means just enough effort to be vivid, to be present, to be here, to be now. - Adyashanti
