Please join us in celebrating summer and the water around us with a guided sunset walk along the Hudson River. While practicing walking, standing, and sitting meditation together, we will engage our five senses, notice thoughts, feelings, and reactions, and give ourselves an opportunity to open to our body, heart, and environment. The class will be conducted in Noble Silence. There will be time for sharing at the end.
Meetup time: 7:00pm, light rain or shine.
Location: Pier 26 Children’s Playground, at North Moore Street
Walk: (Piers 26 to 57—about 1.3 miles, wheelchair accessible).
