Months, and the girl 6 years old. She’s really calm. Thanks!
Yes, children are welcome.
I think I’ve duplicated my reservation because my daughter already reserved for me.

Hi, I am trying to register but it’s saying the link is broken and has not been fixed yet!
The Day of Mindfulness is currently full. Please check again tomorrow afternoon and Saturday for any cancellations and openings.
I have already registered my mother and I. My mother wanted to know if on the meditation walk will there be any hills or walking fast because she has a hard time walking.
It is very slow walking. Unfortunately, there are some hills but it also depends on who is leading and which direction they walk. Just show up and do what you are able.

Would love to attend if it is not full. Is there a way to get on a wait-list in case someone cancels?
You can check tomorrow afternoon and Saturday. As cancellations occur, and we usually get some on those days, then more spots will appear on this page.
Hello,
