In-Person: Sunset Meditative Walk – Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Bridge Park
with Lin Wang Gordon
Friday, September 22nd, 2023 | 5:45pm – 8:00pm ET
Location: Right outside the 4,5,6 Brooklyn Bridge train station on Centre Street, right before the pathway to go up to the Brooklyn Bridge
We often think of meditation as an indoor formal sitting practice, but it’s a practice we can integrate anytime, anywhere, and with anything.
Join us for a special outdoor meditation as we walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and conclude at Brooklyn Bridge Park during sunset.
Together, we will enjoy the beauty of a cityscape sunset while deeply connecting to our body and mind, and appreciating the natural world and interconnection with humanity.
We will also explore the rich history of the Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is the result of decades of community activists turning an abandoned industrial front into an innovative waterfront public space with sustainability and recreating habitats at the core of its design.
The meditative walk will start at the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan side and continue over the bridge to Brooklyn Bridge Park, where we will do a few nature practices. The walk will happen rain or shine, as long as the rain is not heavy and there is not a threat of severe weather.
To reach the meeting location by Subway: 4, 5, and 6 trains to the Brooklyn Bridge stop, located at the intersection of Centre Street and Chambers Street.
We will practice open awareness meditation, metta, five elements, and other practices throughout the walk.
Both beginners and experienced meditators are welcome. Hope to see you there!
