    Description

    Take a mindful break from daily life and immerse yourself in nature during this 3-hour guided meditation walk. Through gentle movement, breathwork, and stillness, we will reconnect with the present moment and the natural world around us.

    The experience includes a slow, intentional walk with guided breathing exercises, sensory awareness practices, and a 30-minute silent forest sitting meditation to ground and restore. Behrang, an experienced hiker and psychotherapist, will be accompanying us on this mindful journey.

    No prior meditation experience is needed. Please wear comfortable shoes, dress for the weather, and bring water and a cushion or mat for sitting, if you wish.
