Mindful Walk: Rhenen Loop
Join us for a refreshing hike in the beautiful area around Rhenen, with a stop at the stunning Blauwe Kamer Nature Reserve! 🍃 This route will take us through diverse landscapes, including lush forests, riverside views, and the unique wetlands of the Blauwe Kamer, known for its rich biodiversity and serene atmosphere.

This walk invites you to slow down, tune into your surroundings, and connect deeply with nature through 30 minutes of silent walking and a 30-minute sitting meditation (if weather permits, otherwise we'll do two sets of 30 minutes silent walking). You can enjoy some warm drinks and bites with the group at a cafe located at the end of our walk too.

What to Bring:

• Water and snacks for along the way
• Lunch for yourself (and to share)
• Comfortable hiking shoes for natural, uneven terrain. Mud does happen!
• Weather-appropriate clothing (layers recommended)
• Umbrella or rain gear in case of December rain
• Something to put over wet ground to sit on for meditation, like a sitpad, waterproof picnic blanket, a large trash bag, or camping chair if your knees will be more comfortable

This walk will proceed rain or shine, so come prepared for any weather. Whether you are new to mindful walking or looking for a peaceful retreat into nature, this is a great opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the natural world. Looking forward to sharing this mindful journey with you!

About contribution:
While the goal is to include as many people as possible, spots are limited to maintain the necessary calm for the event, and no-shows have previously prevented willing wait-listers from joining. Your contribution is therefore a commitment to attendance and an act of respect for those genuinely interested. At the end of the year, whatever is left after covering meetup costs will be donated to Doctor's Without Borders.
