Walking meditation (according to Thich Nhat Hanh): For beginners and advanced practitioners

Meditation with Ursula Benz, Christian Andres, and Jens RögenerOur daily lives are often marked by constant activity in the outside world. Perhaps you, too, are familiar with the feeling of restlessness, stress, or a constant stream of thoughts in your inner world. Meditation can be a way to bring more serenity, calm, clarity, and contentment into your life. After a brief introduction, we will explore the technique of walking meditation. We will follow the guidance of the renowned Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh from Vietnam. In walking meditation, our full attention is directed toward the act of walking. We will try to consciously savor every single step. Experiencing meditative walking in a group can be particularly enjoyable. The beautiful atmosphere of the monastery’s abbey garden provides a suitable setting for this. **Please bring:** Exercise mat (or similar surface), blanket, cushion, comfortable clothing. If you’d like to meditate on a chair at times, feel free to bring a folding chair.
