What we’re about
Welcome to Munich Mindfulness: Walk, Reflect, Connect! 🌄
A safe space to practice walking meditation at a normal pace, with a short pre-check and post-check to share how we feel or anything we’d like to express, supported by some guiding questions.
- ⏳️Duration: Pre-check 30 minutes (talking), mindful walk 60 minutes (silent, no talking, no chitchat), post-check 30 minutes (talking, no chitchat).*
- 📆Frequency: Weekly, usually on the weekends.
- 📍Location: Schloss Nymphenburg, Olympiapark, Luitpoldpark, Englischer Garten, Westpark, Maximiliansanlagen, and Ostpark.
- 🗣Language: As Munich is a beautiful international city, events are held in English.
- 🚶♀️Pace: The pace is 4–5 km/h — we neither run nor walk fast, nor do the super slow walking meditation. We walk silently as a group, appreciating our surroundings both visually and acoustically 🍂🍁🌳🌲🐦⬛🐦
- 📏Distance: The mindful walk covers 4–5 km. If we walk during the pre-check or post-check, those extra steps add to the total distance.
- 👣Who can join: Everyone is welcome — of any age — as long as you feel comfortable maintaining a steady walk at this pace and distance.
- ⚠️Note: Please take part mindfully and at your own discretion. Each participant is responsible for their own well-being during the walk.
Thank you for your attention. I hope to see you soon! 🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️🚶♂️
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*If 60 minutes feels like too much, you’re welcome to join for 30 minutes instead. Please note that if some participants choose 30 minutes while others continue for the full 60, the post-check will only be available for those completing the full walk.
💛 Events are free. A small voluntary donation to help cover Meetup expenses is welcome.

Mindful Walk #2 joins the International Walking Meditation 2025
Odeonsplatz, Residenzstraße 1, München, DENetzwerk Achtsame Wirtschaft organises this event. It is based on Thích Nhất Hạnh’s walking meditation tradition. More info can be found here: https://www.achtsame-wirtschaft.de/international-walking-meditation-2025.html
Look for Munich and its pdf.
Here’s an AI translation of the PDF to English:
Dear friends of mindfulness in Munich,
This year, the Network for Mindful Economics, once again in cooperation with the sanghas in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, invites you to a shared walking meditation — this time on the theme “The Power of Small Acts.”
We will begin at Odeonsplatz. From there, we will walk into the Hofgarten, pausing from time to time for brief contemplations offered by the Network for Mindful Economics, and after about an hour and a half we will close with a shared exchange.
We will gather on Saturday, November 29, from 10:45 a.m. in front of the Theatine Church and start around 11:00 a.m.
At the same time, friends in many other cities and countries will be walking with us. Last year, we walked on the theme “Touching Simplicity” in 101 cities and 25 countries. This year, more than 80 cities wish to continue nurturing this sense of connection across all continents — mindful of the power of small acts.
We look forward to walking together as we enter a peaceful and harmonious Advent season.
