**Join us for an uplifting and mindful walk in the park — a chance to pause, breathe, and reconnect.** By slowing down our pace, tuning into our senses, and noticing the quiet signals that nature offers us, we create space to reconnect with our inner rhythm and the world around us. During this experience, you’ll move through a series of short, guided walking explorations. Each prompt invites you to explore both the inner and outer landscape at your own pace. After each walk, we’ll come together for gentle moments of reflection, with optional sharing for those who feel like expressing whatever arose, before moving into the next exploration. This mindful walk is ideal for anyone who wants to: * slow down and take a meaningful break from daily busyness; * reconnect with themselves and the natural world; * cultivate presence, creativity, and a sense of grounding; * enjoy warm, gentle group moments without pressure to share. **Practicalities** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes — and come ready to move slowly, notice deeply, and let nature guide your attention. * If you have a wristwatch, please bring it, so you won’t need to use your phone during the practices. * Bring a pen and some paper for writing down insights. * Please adhere to our WhatsApp group where I share the updates about our gatherings: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSwO2AvooDH9ivpouRubdd?mode=wwt](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSwO2AvooDH9ivpouRubdd?mode=wwt) **Registration** * Registrations are open until **Friday, January 16th, 2026.** * Please register here (Name & Contact): [https://forms.gle/RCxB7zkweKJBDUU9A](https://forms.gle/RCxB7zkweKJBDUU9A) * And mark your attendance on the event’s Meetup page. * The meeting point will be shared with participants after registration. **Price** * 10.000 CLP **About the Facilitator** Marta’s mission is to facilitate safe spaces of presence, connection, and transformation. Her journey across four continents, in contact with diverse communities, social impact projects, and contemplative practices, has shaped the broad and deeply human perspective she brings today to the paths of self-knowledge. With training in coaching, mindfulness, and circle facilitation, she guides individual and collective processes in which each person is invited to slow down, listen inwardly, and gain clarity to walk authentically toward what they wish to manifest.

A unique musical experience called a "Sound Bath" Sound bath! What's that? According to sonic specialist Monte Hansen from Annapolis MD, "A sound bath is an immersion in sound frequency that cleans your soul." Leave your rubber ducky at home. Bring your blankey instead, for this super relaxing immersion! According to cutting-edge doctors from Harvard, some of the deepest most profound healing in the body are accomplished with sound frequency. That's old news though. A 2nd century stone relief in the Himalayan mountains shows us that Buddha and his entourage knew this before Christ walked the earth. The stone relief depicts the Buddha and his buddies playing ancient Tibetan singing bowls. A sound frequency specialist from the [Human Activation School](https://humanactivation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d88b4fea1b0f4ceaeb58f0e82&id=d6674b4603&e=465ba11f44), will be playing several of these rare Singing Bowls, some of which are over 200 years old. A magical alchemy of 7-12 different metals rings in the past, present, and future for our relaxing enchantment. Even modern doctors are using these old metal bowls for healing, and they are not practicing Buddhists! As a matter of fact, modern Buddhists no longer use the bowls in their practice. Come experience these gifts from the past in this NON-religious practice of our present. Come be rejuvenated or just captivated by this unique musical performance. Bring your pillows, blankeys, and yoga mats and snuggle into the comfort of the tranquil sounds. Feel free to sit, lay, or even stand! ***Did You Know?*** Singing bowls invite the mind and body into a tranquil state of being in which remarkable healing can occur, events that are unexplainable from a conventional biomedical perspective” *Music and the Meditative Mind: Toward the Science of the Ineffable*[Source](https://humanactivation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d88b4fea1b0f4ceaeb58f0e82&id=9222616fc4&e=465ba11f44) "The sound bath meditation provides a nurturing space to connect and grow spiritually.
