You are all invited to enjoy mindful walking along Oxford Street, London.

We will walk in silence, aware of our breathing, the sensations of our feet on the ground and the environment around us.

We will walk together as one body and flow like a river through the busyness of Oxford Street.

ANYONE CAN DO IT

"Walking meditation is meditation while walking. We walk slowly, in a relaxed way, keeping a light smile on our lips. When we practice this way, we feel deeply at ease, and our steps are those of the most secure person on Earth. All our sorrows and anxieties drop away, and peace and joy fill our hearts. Anyone can do it. It takes only a little time, a little mindfulness, and the wish to be happy."

–Thich Nhat Hanh

CONTACT

Get in touch if you have any questions - info@wkuplondon.org

Meditation flash mobs are organised by Wake Up London, a group of young people who want to heal and transform our society, because we know that each of us has the capacity to live in an awakened way, to a lead a life in harmony with one another and with the earth.

We are inspired by the teachings of Zen Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh and come together to meditate twice a month and organize meditation flash mobs in Central London.

We work together with MedMob, an international movement which co-ordinates meditation flash mobs in over 300 cities worldwide every month.
