Recurring Walks

Iris Park
Community Mindfulness Walk

Leaders:
Tamar Enoch, Lana Andrews,
Mai Tran, Bonnie Lawton

1st and 3rd Monday of each month  |  10:00 am 

The entrance to Iris Park is on the corner of Tice Creek and Golden Rain Road (kitty-corner to the Gateway parking lot).

Meet inside the park by the Mindfulness Living Club bench.

We walk in the style of the late Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh who claims:

“Walking mindfully means that we know we are walking; we are not walking to get somewhere nor are we caught up in our regrets or worries. We walk to touch our aliveness and to appreciate the wonders of nature arounds us. Walking in this way, as a community, can bring much peace and joy.”

The activity begins at 10 am in front of the iris bed with a short period of instruction, followed by twenty minutes of silent group walking meditation on a flat paved path. There is time afterwards to socialize or ask questions. All are welcome—no previous experience with meditation or mindfulness is necessary.

The Community Mindfulness Walk originated with the Mindfulness Living Club.

 “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
