Guided Mindful Walking in Nature - Governors Island Edition

**Though the body we move in nature, with our mind/consciousness we are part of nature.** **MINDFULNESS - the practice of maintaining a nonjudgemental state of heighted or complete awareness of one's thoughts, emotions or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis.** **MINDFUL WALKING - a practice that enhances mental clarity and reduces stress by fostering a deep connection with the present moment (the here and now) through awareness of each individual step and the Sight, Sound and Smell of the surrounding environment.** **Take the 10:00 am Governors Island Ferry from the Battery Maritime Building (10 South Street).** **You can book the ferry online or at the BMB.** **(check the Governors Island website for complete information)** **Please read the below information carefully and take the time to view the myriads of videos available that explain the concept of Mindful Walking.** **Let me begin by thanking you for accompanying me on a work in progress to develop a methodology for teaching and leading a Mindful Walking workshop, my goal is to guide/lead the novice through an unfamiliar or complex procedure in a step-by-step process so that they can attain a basic level of skill and knowledge in the practice of Mindful Walking. Upon meeting at the Governors Island Welcome Center for a brief introduction we will proceed to Nolan Park and commerce with a breathing and exercise session, followed by several training practice walks that will introduce the attendees to the techniques of Mindful Walking.** **For the remainder of our Governors Island adventure, we will alternate long bouts of conversation flowing walking sessions with shorter bouts of silent guided Mindful Walking sessions (which will transverse the natural scenic beauty of the The Great Promenade and The Hills).** **Because of the workshop nature of this event, I will limit the number of attendees to ten (10) people. My future vision for this method of training is to present many workshops for first timers, mixed with separate events for those adepts with the Mindful Walking concept. Furthermore, I will expand the range of this event to scenic natural locations (including waterside venues) around the Greater New York area.** **Our journey will end at back at the Welcome Center.** **Will be walking at a moderate (not slow) pace. The walk will last three hours and will cover about 4 miles. There will be ample restrooms stops and a 20-minute snack break at Picnic Point.** **Heavy rain/snow or other forms of extreme weather will cancel the walk. Please check this site for updates.** **LEADER: Bob Lazzaro email: rlazzaro4@aol.com.** **I will use a voice amplification device to foster better understanding and clarity between myself and attendees.**

Walk the NYC Marathon Course

Join us for a 26-mile walk that follows the NYC Marathon route from Bay Ridge to the finish line in Central Park, two days before the actual marathon. This will not be one of Shorewalkers’ scenic hikes, but it is the route of the prestigious NYC marathon that attracts people from all over the world. While the NYC marathon traverses all five boroughs of the city, we will have to skip Staten Island, since we won’t be able to get on the Verrazano Bridge, where the marathon starts. But we will follow the exact route through Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan, with a few detours to get to restrooms. The walk will be entirely on city streets, mostly flat, except for the bridges we will cross. We will walk along Fourth Avenue through Bay Ridge, Sunset Park and Park Slope into downtown Brooklyn, then along Lafayette Avenue with its beautiful brown stones, to and along Bedford Avenue, through the Hasidic neighborhood of Williamsburg to its hipster part north of the Williamsburg Bridge, to Greenpoint, over the Pulaski Bridge to Long Island City, over the Queensborough Bridge into Manhattan and along First Avenue up to the Willis Avenue Bridge into the Bronx and back into Manhattan over the Madison Avenue Bridge, and finally down Fifth Avenue to Central Park and the finish line at Tavern on the Green. We will walk about 26 miles (probably a bit more, due to detours to get to restrooms), at a brisk pace (3 mph) throughout the walk, from beginning to end. There won’t be time for longer breaks, so please bring snacks you can munch on during the walk. We will have a short 10-15 minute lunch break at McCarren Park in Greenpoint. Restrooms: Inside the final R train stop, Bay Ridge-95 St before exiting the station (they are surprisingly clean); Shore Road Park close to the Verrazano Bridge, 0.5 miles from the meeting point (these restrooms are supposed to open at 8:00 a.m. but often are not, in which case we will have to improvise); Green-Wood Cemetery, at about 5 miles; Underwood Park, at about 8 miles; Bedford Playground, at about 9 miles; McCarren Park, at about 11 miles; TJ Maxx Manhattan, at about 16.5 miles; St. Catherine Playground, at about 17.5 miles; Lozada Playground in the Bronx, at about 19 miles; Central Park north, at about 21.5 miles; and at the finish at Tavern on the Green. Note that the restrooms in playgrounds usually close at 4 PM, so the ones in Manhattan and the Bronx may not be available if we get there after that time. Hike Leaders: Brigitte, 646-651-3911; Laura, 917-658-6779; Maureen, 718-954-1581, on day of walk only.
