A Pre-Contemplative Climb Reflection Guide
Thank you for responding to the call of the mountain! This contemplative climb is an opportunity to have a deep encounter with yourself, others, and the Sacred. A very important disposition for this activity is that of allowing. You are invited to allow the trail to be your teacher and the mountain your monastery.
This document will hopefully help you prepare for the contemplative climb. Below are some recommended materials curated specifically for this activity. Please go through them at your own pace. Since this is a deeply personal endeavor, you are free to choose which materials to use and when you want to use them.
Important Information and Reminders
Please take note of these details about the itinerary, the terrain, things to bring, and other reminders. Kindly make sure you download the correct file.
Meditation Exercise
This exercise can be experienced through video, purely audio, and/or text formats. You may do this exercise multiple times and in different formats as you desire in preparation for the climb. It can be a different experience each time.
1. Watch and listen (15 mins)
2. Read the transcript
It is highly recommended that you spend some time writing or drawing in your journal after doing the meditation exercise.
Reflection Questions
These reflection questions can further help you in setting your disposition for the contemplative climb. It is good to intentionally set aside time to go through these questions unhurriedly. You may consider answering all questions in one sitting or take on one question per day.
What is arising in me right now? Are there thoughts and feelings that are surfacing?
What am I bringing with me, in my “interior backpack”, to the climb?
What are my expectations of this climb?
What does this upcoming activity, the contemplative climb, mean to me? How is this relevant to my life right now?
