Mindful Walk: Healing plants


Intro

Living with the seasons is central at the meditation garden. The beginning of spring is the time to crawl out of our shell after a time of withdrawal and reflection. Just like the plants that come out of the ground at that time, we will go outside, go out in the Amstelpark.

The seasons are clearly visible in nature, but also live as life cycles in ourselves. By meditative walking through nature, these parallels become more visible. We can learn a lot from nature about ourselves.


What we are going to do

During a meditative walk through the park we discover the plants around us. We use all our senses to observe the patterns of nature and taste the elements from nature.

We are going to view, feel, smell and taste plants, because there are also edible plants in a city park. You learn about the medicinal power of plants and how you can use it in daily life. With this you learn to live in more direct contact with nature and the seasons, also in the city.


what you will experience

We will slow down and stop. The head will become quieter and the heart louder, we tune into the frequency of nature. Meaning yourself about the small things and is surprised with new flavors. After this workshop you will experience a walk in nature differently and you will recognize edible plants.
