Albuquerque Attention Experiments Meetup

What is NightWalking and how can you use it to...

• walk in the dark without artificial light,
• to lessen anxiety, and
• to rapidly move into flow states associated with responsiveness, productivity, inner peace, and feeling great?

This evening program will help you experience the first few eye exercises required NightWalking (indoors, in a small way!) and decide for yourself how it might be useful or fun to you!

As usual, you'll also get plenty of tips from Katie for practicing NightWalking and night vision on your own.

Note: this class is held at the meeting room in Flying Star on Central. There's no actual NightWalk for this program. :-)

Our agenda for the evening:

6pm: arrive, figure out parking, order from the counter, find us, say hello
6:30pm: we begin our class. No new attendees after 6:30pm.
8pm: our latest time to wrap up and close up

Free coffee, tea, and water provided in the meeting room

More About the NightWalking:

NightWalking is walking at night without artificial light. The purpose of NightWalking is to receive all the benefits from staying in peripheral vision for more than a few seconds at a time. Modern, urban life is filled with small spaces and light. NightWalking is about inhabiting the dark in wide outdoor spaces.

NightWalking is taught outdoors, at night, usually in places with little or no artificial light around. It’s easiest to learn on walkable-yet-uneven natural terrain (not pavement) and can be quickly taught with a guide.

NightWalking participants report that they loose their fear of the dark, they feel “part of the night” instead of in it, and are often surprised that they can see so much detail and so far at night without any artificial light.

NightWalking was developed by psychotherapist and Structure of Delight author Nelson Zink in Taos, New Mexico. Nelson wanted to find ways to help his clients with anxiety. Based on brain research studies and his own explorations in the dark, wild desert of northern New Mexico, he developed the NightWalking training and approach.
