SUMMARY:In-Person: Sunset Meditative Walk – Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Bridge Park
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Sunset Meditative Walk – Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Bridge Park\n \nwith Lin Wang Gordon\n \nSaturday\, May 10th\, 2025 | 6:15pm – 8:30pm\n \nLocation: Meet at corner of Chambers St. and Centre St. in Manhattan\n \n\n \nWe often think of meditation as an indoor formal sitting practice\, but it’s a practice we can integrate anytime and anywhere. \nJoin us for an outdoor meditation as we walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and practice at Brooklyn Bridge Park during sunset. We will explore practices such as open awareness\, metta (loving-kindness)\, four elements\, spaciousness\, etc. \nTogether\, we will immerse ourselves in the beauty of a cityscape sunset\, fostering a deep connection with our body and mind\, with humanity\, and the natural world. \nWe will explore the rich history of Brooklyn Bridge Park\, a testament to community activism that has transformed an abandoned industrial space into a sustainable waterfront haven\, blending recreation with ecological preservation. \nThe meditative walk will start at the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan side and continue over the bridge to Brooklyn Bridge Park. This experience will proceed rain or shine\, barring severe weather threats. In 2024 we held this walk at the end of a thunderstorm and saw double rainbows framing the bridge.  \nTo reach the meeting location by Subway: Take 4\, 5\, or 6 train to the Brooklyn Bridge stop. We will meet at the intersection of Centre Street and Chambers Street. \nBoth beginners and experienced meditators are welcome. Hope to see you there! \n“Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset with Lin Wang Gordon was a life-changing experience. This wasn’t just a walk. It was an awakening. My understanding of nature\, the climate crisis\, and my role in it has shifted profoundly since that evening. I never expected the walk to be as insightful and impactful as it was\, and I continue to find new depth and meaning in the learnings I take from that walk every day.”\n– Participant from Brooklyn Bridge Sunset Meditative Walk\, 2024 \nRegistration:\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.
