BASED UPON BECOMING MINDFUL AND AWARE with Renee at Walk-Victoria.
Sunday, January 1, 2012 10:00 a.m.
Kicking off 52 Sunday reflecting/connecting walks with Walk-Victoria.
Start 2012 with a meditative walk through one of Victoria’s Garden/ Urban/Natural Spaces. Purpose to reflect on Week #1 for the year of Cultivating Peace letting Nature host the space for deepening our inner/outer connections.
Join Renee of Walk-Victoria at the University of Victoria for a walk that will begin with a walk through mystic vale and then continues over and around Finnerty Gardens. Explore the differences of these two nature experiences and the changes is creates within you while developing and/or deepening your connection in the surroundings, letting nature be your host.
This walking group is different from others as we will be developing our inner curiosity and pausing to reflect on the own value experience of Week #1 in Cultivating Peace, which happens to be “PEACE.” In this quote by Gandhi rather than a verbal prayer, we will be exploring the natural prayer like experience that comes from paying attention and developing our senses in connection to nature around us!
Cultivating Peace – Week #1 – Peace/Prayer
“Prayer from the heart can achieve what nothing else in the world can,” said Gandhi. Begin and end each day this week with a prayer for peace. Let peace begin with you. Each day this week make a choice to meet each experience with an intention for peace.
Meet up in General Parking #6 – by Interfaith Chapel – entrance off Gordon Head
