Hiking and Standing Meditation @ Brushy Creek Trail

Join us for rejuvenating morning of hiking and standing meditation! This social event is perfect for entrepreneurs and anyone seeking fresh air, mindfulness, and community. We’ll hike a scenic 3-mile round trip through Brushy Creek Regional Trail, immersing ourselves in nature’s beauty.

This event is cohosted with
Austin Startup Founder Club
North Austin Hiking Group
Great Austin Meditation and Wellness Group

During the second half of the hike, we’ll pause for a 30-minute standing meditation practice, a powerful mindfulness technique. In this practice, you’ll maintain a standing tree posture while focusing on your breath, body sensations, or a point of concentration. Drawing from meditation and yoga principles, standing meditation enhances mental clarity, reduces stress, and promotes physical balance—ideal for busy entrepreneurs looking to manage stress and boost focus. It’s a versatile practice that fits easily into daily routines, requiring no prior experience. Learn more at Standing Meditation Guide.
