Thursday Morning Urban Walk in Jongno District & Seon Meditation

Details

Start your day with a refreshing urban walk through the quiet early streets of central Seoul — and stay for tea and a short Seon (Korean Buddhist) meditation session.
This is a non-religious, open-to-all meetup for those who want to slow down, connect, and rediscover the city on foot. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and comfortable shoes!

🌿 What to Expect:
– Easy 30–40 minute walk through Jongno alleyways and local sites
– Light conversation or silent walking — up to you
– Tea & short Seon meditation afterward (optional, ~30 minutes)
– No religious rituals, chanting, or pressure to participate
– A space to quietly reflect and move with others in a mindful way

📍 Meeting Point:
7:00 AM sharp — In front of Templestay information center
Across Jogyesa Temple (종로 조계사 건너 편)

Every Thursday at 7:00 AM
(Ends around 8:15 AM — perfect before work or school!)
🗣 Language: English & Korean
💸 Cost: Free

Open to everyone — locals, expats, travelers, students.
You don’t need to be Buddhist or spiritual.
You just need to be willing to walk with others.
Let’s walk and wake up the city together.
