Mindful Walk in the Park - Parque Padre Hurtado
**Join us for an uplifting and mindful walk in the park â 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, youâll 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, weâll 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 â and come ready to move slowly, notice deeply, and let nature guide your attention.
* If you have a wristwatch, please bring it, so you wonât 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)

The Sound Of Music - Studio 35
Experience the breathtaking theatrical presentation of Rodgers & Hammerstein'sÂź iconic musical film The Sound of Music. Meticulously restored and remastered in 4K for its 60th anniversary, the beloved classic is more brilliant than ever with pristine picture and sound. In this true-life story, Julie Andrews lights up the screen as Maria, a spirited young woman who leaves the convent and becomes a governess to the seven unruly children of Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). Her warmth, charm and songs soon win the hearts of the children and their father. But when the threat of war rises, Maria is forced to attempt a daring escape with her new family. One of the most successful movie musicals of all time, The Sound of Music features unforgettable treasures like âEdelweiss,â âMy Favorite Things,â âClimb Evâry Mountainâ and âDo-Re-Mi.â

January Book Club - Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy
For January, weâre reading Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy.
For fans of Flight Behavior and Station Eleven, a novel set on the brink of catastrophe, as a young woman chases the world's last birds--and her own final chance for redemption.
Franny Stone has always been a wanderer. By following the ocean's tides and the birds that soar above, she can forget the losses that have haunted her life. But when the wild she loves begins to disappear, Franny can no longer wander without a destination. She arrives in remote Greenland with one purpose: to find the world's last flock of Arctic terns and track their final migration. She convinces Ennis Malone, captain of the Saghani, to take her onboard, winning over his eccentric crew with promises that the birds will lead them to fish.
As the Saghani fights its way south, Franny's dark history begins to unspool. Battered by night terrors, accumulating a pile of unsent letters, and obsessed with pursuing the terns at any cost, Franny is full of secrets. When her quest threatens the safety of the entire crew, Franny must ask herself what she is really running toward--and running from.
Propelled by a narrator as fierce and fragile as the terns she is following, Charlotte McConaghy's Migrations is both an ode to our threatened world and a breathtaking page-turner about the lengths we will go for the people we love.
