‘Seeking stillness in motion’.Join us for Walking Meditation at Treptower Park in Berlin.
“If you miss the here, you are likely also to miss the there”
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
Hello & Welcome We are very happy that you are here and that you are considering joining us for our next walking meditation at Treptower Park.
Why Walking Meditation?
How often are you present while walking somewhere? Are you aware of the environment you are walking in? When we walk mindfully, every step brings us to the here and now . Our senses become more open to our surroundings, transforming each walk into a new and unique experience. We are walking, but we’re already there where we need to be. There is no need to rush.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness, rooted in ancient contemplative traditions such as Buddhist meditation, embodies a state of clear, stable, and non-judgmental awareness. While it forms the heart of Buddhist meditation, in recent decades, modern science has embraced mindfulness for its proven efficacy in bringing calm and clarity to the pressures of everyday life. Our mind has a habit of rushing. We tend to leave the present moment, hurrying towards the future, sometimes towards the past. However, in order for us to create a joyful and liberated future, we need to learn how to take care of the present moment and how to appreciate the well-being that is already there. Therefore, we engage in a practice of mindfulness. Through this practice, we discover how to come back to the present moment. Walking Meditation is a great and beautiful way to do it.
Our intention
We will introduce you to the practice of mindfulness in a gentle, accessible, and joyful manner. During this 2.5-hour workshop, we'll share various tools for practicing mindfulness in both movement and stillness, which you can easily incorporate into your everyday life.
This workshop is for you if:
-You want to learn about mindfulness & meditation in an accessible and beginner friendly manner
-You already practice meditation and want to refresh your personal practice
-You are looking to deepen the feeling of being present
-You like the idea of meditation but feel like starting to sit on a cushion is a big step
-You would like to learn how to appreciate well-being and how to take care of the present moment
-You, like us, enjoy walking in nature!
