One with Nature Meditation
Datum: Sunday, 4 October
Time: 1:00–2:30 PM
Plats: Arboretum Norr, Baggböle
Arrangör: Nuet.nu / Love Yoga
About the activity: Join us for a guided walking meditation through Arboretum Norr. Over the course of 90 minutes, we will move slowly through the area, using nature, the body and the senses as simple pathways to greater presence and a deeper experience of the moment. Gentle walking is interspersed with simple breathing and mindfulness exercises. Along the way, we will pause to listen, observe and notice what is already happening in our surroundings.
The walk begins at the so-called Buddha Cave below Baggböle Manor and ends at the same spot with a warm cup of tea.
Difficulty level: Beginner – No prior experience is required
Price: SEK 200
