Monastic disciples of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh will lead Walking Meditation and mindful movement, followed by a sangha picnic.
Join Zen Monks Brothers Pháp Lưu and Phap Xa, authors of Hiking Zen: Train Your Mind in Nature, for a mindful hike on the Howth Cliff Loop, Thursday 2 July at 17:30.
Meet at the Ready Boat Pillar, opposite the Howth Market.
Please bring a vegan/vegetarian packed dinner to enjoy following the hike.
You may join us for the whole 5 mile loop, or take public transit near Baily Lighthouse to return.
This special event offers a chance to slow down, connect with the present moment, and experience the healing power of mindful walking.
Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a longtime practitioner, this gathering will be an opportunity to nourish body and mind in a supportive community.
All are welcome. We look forward to sharing this mindful journey with you.
