Sunrise Sit

What you need

• A camp chair or sleeping pad
• A warm layer
• Coffee or tea if desired

How to play

1. 1.Set an alarm for 15 minutes before official sunrise. Check the time the evening before.
2. 2.Carry a chair or pad to an east-facing spot with a clear view. Get there before first light.
3. 3.Sit quietly. No phone, no book. Just watch the sky shift.
4. 4.Notice: the order of color (grey → indigo → orange → yellow), the first sounds, the first movement.
5. 5.Stay until full sun clears the horizon. That is usually 20-25 minutes.

Variations

• Sunrise journal: bring a notebook and write one observation per minute for 20 minutes.
• Shared sit: two people, same spot, no talking - compare notes after.
• Photo sequence: one photo every 2 minutes from first glow to full sun.

Safety notes

• Tell someone where you're going if you leave the campsite before others are awake.
• Bring a headlamp for the walk out in the dark.
