Relating to Nature in the Bronx at Soundview Park
Today, to conclude our journey through Wellness Month, we will immerse ourselves in Soundview Park in the Bronx. We’ll begin at the park entrance on the corner of Morrison Ave and Lafayette Ave easing into a mindful nature-bathing experience as we take in the park’s natural beauty. From there, we’ll stroll at a relaxed pace around Soundview Park, before settling in by the Butterfly Mediation Garden for a peaceful journaling workshop.

Journaling prompts will be provided to help guide your reflections, but you're welcome to write or draw freely—whatever speaks to you in the moment. The focus of this walk is to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with yourself through nature and self-expression.

Register for this event at Mindfulness Walks Series, RSVP on Meetup, or simply show up! We would love to see you!

Bring water, weather-appropriate clothes, a journal / notebook, writing or drawing utensils, sturdy footwear, and a positive attitude! Well-behaved and leashed dogs are permitted on this walk.

The nearest subway is the 6 line with stops at Elder Ave and Morrison Ave-Soundview Stations.

If weather forces cancellation, we'll post an update at least 2 hours in advance.
