Mindful Winter Hike through the Upper Lobau
Sunday, December 21, 2025 • 10:00 • Steinspornbrücke
Our mindful hike leads us through the wintry river landscape of the Upper Lobau.
We walk along the waters and through the forests of this special nature reserve and practice various mindfulness
practices from the Plum Village tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Most of the time we hike in silence to be able
to listen to nature, ourselves and our surroundings. During the rest breaks there will be opportunity for sharing.
During the hike we practice, among other things: listening to the bell, mindful walking, mindful breathing, mindful eating,
mindful sharing, dwelling in nature and – if it fits – communal singing.
