**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.

After the library we'll take a leisurely walk together to get food/drinks. There are many options around including North Market Bridge Park. It's a perfect opportunity to continue our conversations and enjoy each other's company over a meal.

Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome! If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten. Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.
