Guided Mindful Walking in Nature - Prospect Park Edition

Sun, May 31, 3:15 PM

**Though the body we move in nature, with our mind/consciousness we are part of nature.** **MINDFULNESS - the practice of maintaining a nonjudgemental state of heighted or complete awareness of one's thoughts, emotions or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis.** **MINDFUL WALKING - a practice that enhances mental clarity and reduces stress by fostering a deep connection with the present moment (the here and now) through awareness of each individual step and the Sight, Sound and Smell of the surrounding environment.** **Please read the below information carefully and take the time to view the myriads of videos available that explain the concept of Mindful Walking.** **Let me begin by thanking you for accompanying me on a work in progress to develop a methodology for teaching and leading a Mindful Walking workshop, my goal is to guide/lead the novice through an unfamiliar or complex procedure in a step-by-step process so that they can attain a basic level of skill and knowledge in the practice of Mindful Walking. Upon entering "Brooklyn's Jewel" the stunningly beautiful Prospect Park, we will commerce with a breathing and exercise session followed by several training practice walks that will introduce the attendees to the techniques of Mindful Walking.** **For the remainder of our Prospect Park adventure, we will alternate long bouts of conversation flowing walking sessions with shorter bouts of silent guided Mindful Walking sessions. The route that we will follow will include specific areas of the park of such stunning scenic beauty (in every season of the year) that will inspire and uplift all who attend.** **Because of the workshop nature of this event, I will limit the number of attendees to ten (10) people. When you sign up, you will be placed on the Waiting List. Attendees will be manually moved from the Waiting List to the Going List. Am looking for First Timers to attend these training events. My future vision for this method of training is to present many workshops for first-timers, mixed with separate events for those adepts with the Mindful Walking concept. Furthermore, I will expand the range of this event to scenic natural locations (including waterside venues) around the Greater New York area.** **We will exit Prospect Park by the Grand Army Plaza entrance. The nearest Subway Station will be the Grand Army Plaza Station of the #2 and #3 Trains.** **Will be walking at a moderate (not slow) pace. The walk will last three and a half hours and will cover about 5 miles. There will be ample restrooms stops and a thirty-minute lunch break.** **Heavy rain/snow or other forms of extreme weather will cancel the walk. Please check this site for updates.** **LEADER: Bob Lazzaro email: rlazzaro4@aol.com.** **I will use a voice amplification device to foster better understanding and clarity between myself and attendees.**

Vinegar Hill, Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights

Sun, Jun 7, 2:30 PM

This will be a guided tour (with much commentary) which will encompass one of the least known, one of the most upcoming and the most historic of Brooklyn neighborhoods. Beginning at the Brooklyn War Memorial in Cadman Plaza Park, we will make our way into the charming Vinegar Hill neighborhood to view such hidden treasures as a Tibetan Temple on the site of a former gas station. Then we will enter the trendy Dumbo area and explore the many waterfront parks along the East River. We will cross the "non swaying Bridge" to access the Promenade. After a brief detour into the oldest section of Brooklyn Heights, we will take in the breath-taking views of the Promenade. The walk will end outside the Brooklyn Historical Society. Owning to the Group Guided Tour nature of this event, it will be restricted 25 attendees. The closest Subway Station near the end point is the Court Street Station. Will be walking at a moderate (not slow) pace. The walk will last close to four hours and will cover about 5 miles. There will be ample restrooms stops but no lunch break. Heavy rain/snow or other forms of extreme weather will cancel the walk. Please check this site for updates.
