SUMMARY:In-Person: Manhattan Pilgrimage - A Meditative Walk through NYC

The process of walking–outer pilgrimage—often gives rise to insights\, healing\, and a deep sense of letting go—inner pilgrimage. \nDoing this together builds community and mutual belonging. \nDoing this in a major American city brings the sacred into the everyday. \nIn this 12 mile pilgrimage\, visiting Insight meditation teacher nico hase will guide participants in a meditation walk from northern Manhattan to our home ground at New York Insight. The pilgrimage will happen rain or shine. \nThe group will gather at 10:00 at the Met Cloisters. After a guided meditation\, dialogue\, and intention setting ritual\, the group will walk in silence until lunch. \nDuring lunch there will be time for casual conversation\, followed by a brief meditation\, before resuming the silent meditation walk. The pilgrimage will end at 115 W 29th Street around 5:00pm\, where nico will offer a dharma talk followed by reflections\, dialogue\, and a brief closing ceremony. \n(See below for a map of our route.) \nThis pilgrimage is open to anyone who can walk ten miles at a brisk pace with infrequent stops.
