Please join us for NY Insight’s first Family Gathering in Central Park — a day of mindful community, play, and rest!

Join us for a delightful day of mindfulness, creativity, and community at our Mindful Family gathering in Central Park. This special gathering marks the kick-off of our Family Programming initiative, designed to bring families together in a joyful, enriching environment.

Event Highlights:

  • Mindful Movement: Kick off the day with a gentle yoga and movement session suitable for all ages. Our experienced instructor will guide you through movements that promote relaxation and connection. This is an opportunity to let our minds rest and to connect with our body’s wisdom.
  • Art in Nature: Tap into your creativity with nature-inspired art activities. We’ll provide all the materials needed for children and adults to create artwork using elements from the park.
  • Community Picnic: Bring your own picnic lunch and enjoy with the community!
  • Nature Exploration: Join a guided nature walk to discover the beauty of the park. Learn about local flora and fauna while engaging in mindful practices.

What to Bring:

  • A picnic lunch for your family
  • Comfortable clothing and a yoga mat or blanket
  • Water and sunscreen
  • Your creativity and an open heart!

This event is open to all families, and we encourage you to invite friends and neighbors. Together, let’s celebrate the start of our Family Programming initiative with a day filled with mindfulness, art, nature, and community spirit. We can’t wait to see you there! Let’s co-create!

Come and be a part of this community event, where families grow together through mindfulness!

Please come and share your ideas with us as we move towards building programming that aligns with your unique family.

We hope to design offerings for children of all ages, teens as well as parents and caregivers! We welcome your suggestions about events that would best serve you and your family’s needs.
