We invite you to take a mindful walk for peace with us at the 2026 Annual Meeting and Retreat at the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve on February 21, 2026, from 10am to 2PM.
This event is Free to members of Caloosahatchee Mindfulness. All others are welcome to attend with a love donation of whatever works for you. The day will start with a welcome and a brief 15-minute business meeting. We will then walk as a group through the beautiful slough on the boardwalk. Thich Nhat Hanh taught, "Many of us walk for the sole purpose of getting from one place to another. Now, suppose we are walking to a sacred place. We would walk quietly and take each gentle step with reverence. I propose that we walk this way every time we walk on the earth. The earth is sacred, and we touch her with each step. We should be very respectful, because we are walking on our mother. If we walk like that, then every step will be grounding, every step will be nourishing."

After the walk, we will have a break, and we will then gather in the community room for a guided compassion meditation. There will be a deep sharing meditation and then close our time with the Universal Peace Prayer.
The Slough has limited parking, so carpooling is recommended.
