Sunset Meditative Walk – Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Bridge Park – Friday, 9/22

Date: Friday, 9/22/2023

Time: 6-8pm ET

Location: Meet at 5:45pm at the head of the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side

We often think of meditation as an indoor formal sitting practice, when we can meditate anywhere, anytime, on anything. For this fall evening, explore meditating outdoors by walking through the Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Bridge Park during sunset. We will discover how we can connect to ourselves and the larger community around us through awareness. We will experience the beauty of a sunset of a cityscape while deeply connecting to our body and mind, and appreciating the natural world and interconnection to humanity, all in the midst of a busy city life.

We will begin a meditative walk from the head of the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan side, then walk through the Brooklyn Bridge to the Brooklyn Bridge Park, and we will do a few nature practices in the park. Throughout the walk, we will practice open awareness meditation, metta, five elements, etc.

Both beginners and experienced meditators are welcome. Hope to see you there!
