UPCOMING EVENT!

Awake in Urban Nature – Central Park

Sunday, October 20th, 2024

The season is changing day by day. Now we are heading to the depths of Autumn. We will find colors, smells, and sounds completely different from summertime. Let’s explore the park. This time, we will hold a meditation event at the Great Hill in Central Park. We will have an interesting walking meditation around the pool, too.

“My understanding of Buddhist practice has deepened, my ability and confidence as a teacher has grown exponentially, I’ve started my own teaching practice and am offering my first online program this late fall/early winter. I have regular students and I am so happy to be doing this.”

“Mindfulness shows us what is happening in our bodies, our emotions, our minds, and in the world. Through mindfulness, we avoid harming ourselves and others.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

“The teachers are why this program is so valuable. The different backgrounds of the teachers gives a wide variety of teachings and perspectives on mindfulness. And they are spacious! How glorious to have a teacher who can give you the space you need to learn!”
