Mindfulness in Nature

Zapraszamy na trzy dwudziestopięciominutowe rundy medytacji, w trakcie których będzie okazja doświadczyć swojej pełnej obecności w tym-co-jest z-chwili-na-chwilę. Rundy rozpoczynamy o 18:30, 19:00 i 19:30 - można dołączyć do dowolnej z nich lub odłączyć się w trakcie przerw pomiędzy nimi. Prosimy o przyjście chwilę przed rozpoczęciem rundy, ponieważ startujemy punktualnie. Medytacje odbywają się w każdy czwartek na ul. Zielonej 30 w Łodzi w lokalu HSŁ w głębi bramy. Przy bramie prosimy dzwonić pod numer: 42 203 20 50. Spotkania są otwarte i wszyscy są mile widzani. Jeżeli chcesz zobaczyć, czy medytacja to coś dla Ciebie, temat jakoś z Tobą rezonuje, a może już praktykujesz, przychodź! Zorganizujemy coś, na czym można usiąść, ale dobrze jest wziąć ze sobą swoją poduszkę do siedzenia lub matę. Do zobaczenia!

**🪷 COST:** You must register with this link to attend- [Register Here!](https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/woodland-and-water-resonance-a-forest-therapy-and-sound-bath-walk) **🌿 Description:** Early March, by the water, carries a different kind of awakening — **softer, reflective, spacious.** 🌊 Nestled around a 350-acre reservoir, Beaverdam Park offers wooded paths, natural-surface trails, and peaceful lake views. Forest and water meet here, creating the perfect setting to slow down and listen. ✨ We’ll begin with a **gentle, guided forest therapy walk** through the trees, pausing along the way to notice the stillness of the reservoir and the subtle signs of early spring. After enjoying a snack & sipping foraged tisane/tea while sitting near the water, we’ll settle in for an **immersive outdoor sound bath**. 🎶 Singing bowls and resonant instruments will blend with the soft lapping of water, breeze through branches, and birdsong overhead. The lake amplifies and carries sound in a uniquely soothing way — supporting nervous system reset, emotional clarity, and deep restoration. We’ll close with a silent walk back along the trail, taking in the serenity of forest and water. 🌿 **A morning of reflection, resonance, and renewal.** **🥾 What we'll do:** We will walk \~2 miles, depending on timing and the desires of the group. This is an out and back hike with minimal elevation gain or loss. **👋🏼 Meeting point:** Meet at 9:50am in the parking lot. We will start at 10am. **🚙 Parking:** Park by the National Recreation and Park Association building adjacent to Brambleton Community Park West.

## 🌸 Sacred Bloom: Meditative Watercolor + Soundscape Experience **Sunday\, March 8th \| 5:00–7:00 PM** **Walker Nature Center – Reston, VA** Hosted by Mind Body Paloma & She’s Artsy Studio Step away from the noise and into a space of softness, creativity, and connection. **Sacred Bloom** is a 2-hour immersive experience designed to help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner creative flow. We’ll begin with a **45-minute restorative soundscape**, using layered sound and vibration to gently calm the body and quiet the mind. This portion of the evening invites deep relaxation and grounding, creating space to release tension and settle into stillness. From there, we’ll transition into a **45-minute meditative watercolor practice**. This is an intuitive, process-led approach to painting that focuses on presence rather than perfection. Through guided prompts incorporating breath, movement, and emotion, you’ll allow water and color to move freely across the page. ✨ No prior art experience needed ✨ All materials provided ✨ A welcoming, supportive environment This workshop is not about technique or creating a masterpiece. It’s about expression, reflection, and giving yourself permission to rest and explore creatively. You’ll leave feeling grounded, calm, and gently reconnected to yourself. Spots are limited to keep the experience intimate. We look forward to blooming together. 🌿🌸 Self Investment: $80 Link to register **[HERE](https://www.shesartsy.com/shop/sip-sfx25)**
