Hi, my name is Nigel. I graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and began my career designing rocket components for China’s aerospace program. So unlike the so-called “rocket scientists” on Wall Street, I am the real deal. For the past 20 years, I have helped foreign businesses achieve a smooth landing in China, navigating everything from market strategy and regulatory compliance to local partnerships and execution. I speak the languages of engineering, mathematics, and cross-border business. Let us have a cup of tea at a peaceful Buddhist temple and talk business. We can brainstorm practical, real-world approaches to doing business in China. My associate and I also host business networking events and organize trips around China for professionals and entrepreneurs. Please add the WhatsApp contact above to connect and confirm details.

Suzhou Creek and North Bund Walking Tour Come with me for a stroll along my favorite part of Suzhou Creek and North Bund, passing numerous historical sites and culture landmarks while enjoying some natural peace and quiet at the same time. The entire route is about 5 kilometers long and aims to lead participants in reading architecture, appreciating culture, and engaging with history and meet and greet new friends on the tour.. Suzhou Creek, the biggest tributary of the Huangpu, runs through central areas of the city and stretches from the Outer Ring to the Bund. Suzhou creek waterfront has been revitalized in recent years to provide uninterrupted walking paths, new gardens and ample resting areas. The riverbanks in Huangpu District, about 3 kilometers from Chengdu Road Bridge to Waibaidu Bridge near the Bund, has become a pedestrian-favored corridor Let us enjoy the enchanting scenery of the Suzhou Creek not only on foot, Waibaidu Bridge （Garden bridge） This is China’s first all-steel bridge and, in Shanghai style, lights up in different colors in the evening. This steel bridge from 1907 is one of a few unequal height truss bridge in China. It played a part in numerous books and movies With its rich history and unique design, it is a symbol of ShanghaiSimply enjoy the walk on the wooden deck of this old bridge Suzhou Creek holds a special place in the hearts of Shanghai residents. The region's silks and ceramics were carried along the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), and centuries later the area became an early industrial hub of the city. Since Shanghai was forced to open its port in 1843, the creek has been the backdrop for dramatic landmarks in the city's history. It was the scene of wartime suffering and the birthplace of China's earliest national industries. North Bund offers innovation, history, stunning skyline views Shanghai’s riverside areas have already been transformed with greenery and walking paths, shikumen residences are being renovated, and the historic North Bund is becoming the city’s “most beautiful parlor.” Let's have a walk along North Bund, a gem with stunning views of the Lujiazui skyline, plenty of thrilling adventures to get up to, and countless photo-worthy moments waiting for you to capture.

We'd be happy to see you at the silent sits! **ABOUT OUR WEDNESDAY IN-PERSON (AND HYBRID IN-PERSON + ONLINE) MEDITATION GATHERINGS** Each gathering will consist of instruction in different forms of mindfulness meditation, and time for group discussion and connecting with the community. Depending on the week, the teacher may give a talk or share a reading. Gatherings will be led by different members of our teaching team. Read more about our teaching team here: [Mindful Astoria Teachers](https://mindfulastoria.wordpress.com/teachers/) Check out our group guidelines: [Mindful Astoria Guidelines](https://mindfulastoria.wordpress.com/guidelines/) The meditation session will last for 1 hour and will begin SHARPLY AT 7:30PM, with an optional social time from 8:45-9 following the meditation hour. We ask that you arrive between 7:15 and 7:30pm. Email any questions to [mindfulastoria@gmail.com](mailto:mindfulastoria@gmail.com). We look forward to deepening our practice and strengthening our mindful community with you. **COVID SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE:** **Please note this change in our Covid safety policy:** Effective July 19, 2023, at indoor gatherings and events, **masks will be recommended but optional**. You are welcome to wear a mask, and we will have masks available for all attendees. However, **if you are only able to attend an indoor session in person if all attendees wear masks, please contact Mindful Astoria by 12pm the day of the session that you wish to attend at [mindfulastoria@gmail.com](mailto:mindfulastoria@gmail.com). We will require attendees to wear masks for that session.** Your request will remain confidential. **In-person attendance is limited to 20 people** (plus Mindful Astoria teachers and staff) to ensure Covid safety compliance. Once those 20 spots are filled, RSVP's will go to a waitlist. Given our limited in-person capacity, we ask that you be mindful of the space that is being held for you--and if you won't be able to attend, be sure to let us know so that someone on the waitlist can attend. The space will be ventilated for 30 minutes following the previous activity and will be equipped with HEPA air purifiers and hand sanitizer. If you have been exposed to COVID-19 within 3-5 days and do not have a Covid test result, or if you’re feeling ill, or have symptoms related to a cold or infectious disease, please stay home. All in attendance must adhere to the COVID-19 guidelines. As mentioned, masks are optional unless a member of our community requests that all attendees wear masks for a particular event, in which case masks will be mandatory. We will provide masks. We look forward to seeing you in person! **SUPPORTING MINDFUL ASTORIA** If you join us for an online program, we ask that if you are able to offer financial support (we suggest $10-$15 per event), please do so via the PayPal app or website, with payment to our email address: mindfulastoria@gmail.com. No one will ever be turned away due to lack of funds. Your contributions will enable us to continue both to offer programs, and to give donations to Astoria First Presbyterian Church, where we are again meeting for some Mindful Astoria events after a too-long absence.

This workshop begins with a grounding yoga session to stretch, move, and release tension in the body. We’ll then shift into a guided meditation focused on conscious breathing to calm the mind and support mental clarity. Whether you're looking to improve focus, reduce stress, or simply take a break, this session offers simple, effective tools you can use anytime. **All levels are welcome—no prior experience needed.** Please bring a yoga mat, wear comfortable clothing, and bring water.

Join us for a transformative evening with the energy of the full moon — a powerful time for meditation and reflection.

It also enhances mental clarity making it an ideal time to realign, refocus, and find inner balance. Meditating in a group is a transformative practice that helps us connect deeply with our essence. When we gather with a shared intention, the collective energy amplifies serenity and peace, uplifting everyone present. Don't miss this chance to reconnect with your inner self and the energy of the full moon.
