Bilingual Mindfulness Walk / Caminata de Atencion Plena

A llegada del otoño nos entusiasma por los variados colores de los árboles. Al mismo tiempo, el cambio de temporada puede significar un reto. Requiere que nos adaptemos a pasar más tiempo adentro, al frío y a los días con menos luz. Un excelente antídoto para enfrentar los cambios de temporada es la atención plena. Con ayuda de los árboles, otras plantas, y los animales podemos encontrar resiliencia y belleza en esta transición. Acompañe a Claudia Linares y Sarah Low en esta caminata de atención plena en Swan Creek Park, quienes nos enseñaran prácticas que podemos llevar a casa. 

  • Punto de encuentro: Estacionamiento del parque de perros de Swan Creek Park. 2106 E 44th St, Tacoma, WA 98404, USA
  • Trae tus zapatos más cómodos para caminar y vístete de acuerdo con el pronóstico del tiempo. Te recomendamos traer un impermeable y capas de ropa calientitas, de acuerdo con el pronóstico. 

 

The arrival of fall and its colorful tree canopy can give us comfort.  At the same time, change is always hard! The seasonal transition requires that we adapt to cooler and darker months, when we’ll spend more time indoors. Practicing mindfulness with the help of trees, other plants, and wildlife during this transitional period can help us find resilience and beauty in change. Join Claudia Linares and Sarah Low at Swan Creek Park and take home some mindfulness strategies for the season ahead. 

  • Meeting Point: Swan Creek Dog Park parking lot. 2106 E 44th St, Tacoma, WA 98404, USA
  • Wear comfortable shoes, and dress according to the forecast. Consider bringing rain gear and warm layers according to the weather forecast.
