About

Somanaut, noun: a person who navigates the inner space of the mind and body.

Somanauts is a group of souls in St. Augustine, Florida interested
in internal liberation and calming the mind through a weekly meditation
practice and building a supportive community.     
 

We meet every Thursday on Vilano beach.  We want you to be reasonably
comfortable, please bring something to sit on (towel, blanket, cushion),
and during the winter months dress warmer than you think necessary,
as the beach is often cooler than inland areas.

Beach Meditation

Insight Meditation

The general practice of insight meditation is to acknowledge thoughts, emotions, and feelings as they arise.  The insight comes from being the “watcher” of your thoughts, instead of being wrapped up in them.  Gentle attention is paid to the breath as a means of centering and grounding oneself in the practice.

Where We Sit

We meet on Thursdays @ 6:30 PM
5:30 PM Daylight Savings
 on the beach, slightly north of the
Vilano Beach Pavilion

Weather

We meet on the beach!  Weather conditions can easily affect the experience. In the cooler months, it’s wise to bring layers.  In the warmer months, sunscreen and a hat.

We meet in most weather conditions, unless severe weather is imminent: rain, lightning, or
high winds.
