8,4 km with gentle ascents and descents (+345/-343 m). Suitable for almost everyone. We start in Hönflein an der Donau and finish in Greifenstein. You can join from Budapest, Vienna or from the start of the route. Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the moment and experience life more fully. It makes life richer, brighter, and filled with simple pleasures. In everyday life, we constantly switch between our phones, work, and thoughts about the future. On this hike, we'll try spending the day differently: without phones, without rushing, and without unnecessary noise. We'll pay more attention to the nature around us, our own feelings, and simply give our minds a chance to rest. There will be mindfulness exercises, periods of silence, time for reflection, and, for those who wish, meditation. Phones stay in our backpacks and won't come out until the end of the hike. If you'd like photos, I'll take them for you and send them afterward. **Price:** 60 euro. Please take lunch with you. Prepayment is required (Revolut, Wise, bank transfer, cash). Please contact me personally: Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/leonid.syrovyatkin](https://www.facebook.com/leonid.syrovyatkin) Whatsapp: [https://wa.me/36305183643](https://wa.me/36305183643) Telegram: https://t.me/Rudra_AM

Imagine being a house plant and having to stay in the same shitty room all your life. You only get a glimpse of the outdoors through the window and you constantly have to watch your friends die, because some dude/lady wasn't able to stick to a simple watering schedule. If you want to bring some excitement into your house plant's otherwise bleak life, this event is for you! Your plant will have a chance to meet other house plants, make plant friends, and maybe even win some prizes. **What to bring:** \- One of your house plants **What we'll do:** \- Stuff **Where we'll do:** \- Check the location of the event again before you leave\. It's set for Grillplatz 8 at Donauinsel for now\. If it's taken already\, we'll be somewhere in that area\.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event!

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
