Slow Ruzafa: Urban Mindfulness Pilgrimage of Two Blocks

Here & Now. Where exactly is that? And when does it start/end?
Calle Sevilla. Two blocks. One street. A whole life of a city.
How much can you learn about a neighborhood, a culture, a people, and your Self in just two city blocks?

When people say pay attention, how do we do that?
When we're told to be present, be present where?
Can we be impressed by anything anymore?

Urban Mindfulness Pilgrimage is about 60+ minutes guided walk, TED Talk, standup, popquiz experience. Wow or Borrring? Join us and decide for yourself.

We'll start outside the Book Lovers Valencia bookstore at 18:00
We'll finish in time for its monthly Book Lovers Unplugged Open Mic!
If you're running a bit late, don't worry... we won't get far :)

This walk-talk experience is FREE. The host will pass the hat at the end for welcome donations.
