Mindfulness social walk from YHA Canterbury
Overview
Saturday 28th September 2024
Distance: 3.7 miles
Duration: 3 hours
Led by: Stuart McLeod (RUN-ZEN)
Join mindfulness teacher Stuart McLeod for an easy-paced and gentle guided walk starting on the outskirts of Canterbury, before passing through the city’s peaceful rural fringe.
This will be a walk with a difference. During our morning together we will discover some of the different qualities of mindfulness. When we are mindful, we can become fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, without the mind becoming overly distracted.
These qualities of mindfulness can be brought to everything we do, so before our walk we will explore some mindfulness practises in stillness and movement. We will then apply these skills to the activity of walking in nature, seeing and appreciating whatever we notice.
