Pre-Class Assignments

Basia and Dr. Jim are asking you to do pre-class work for two reasons. First, you will gain basic concepts to save time in class. Second, it takes a little time to increase one’s sensory and intuitive sensitivity, so you will have a head-start in those important inner processes. The pre-course assignments are available in the next section, they include:

• Links to a few specific videos and playlists at our Youtube channels that we ask you to watch.

• Audio recordings of 3 short “breathing cycle” exercises that will expand your sensory and intuitive sensitivity. 

• Audio recording of a guided visualization exercise called “Step Into the Tree’s World” that will prepare you, plus audio recordings we will do during the course. 

Segment 1

• At the start of the video for the first segment, Basia and Dr. Jim will greet you.  

• Almost immediately, Basia will lead a short calming video in the classroom. After 20+ years, Basia and Dr. Jim have found that less words and more experiences with trees/plants are the best way to start a course. :-) 

• Optional: Continue to watch this segment 1 video.... It contains an edited version of the introduction video in this section. If you re-watch that section, it will serve as a reminder about the important scientific basis of the Tree Whispering mindful methods that you will be learning. 

• GIFT: The "Welcome" meditation as an audio.
