Nature has the power to evoke calm and beauty when we can step out of our hectic lives. This immersive experience in the Arnold Arboretum, designed specially for visually impaired participants, will invite attendees to practice mindfulness on a slow meander through the landscape. We will be stopping for several guided mindfulness practices to deepen our connection with the natural world. This will be a guided experience with some periods of silence. No experience with mindfulness or meditation necessary.

Facilitator Bob Linscott is a certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction teacher at Brown University and Center for Mindfulness at UMASS Memorial Health Care.

Accessibility: This program will take place on pavement, crushed stone paths, and mowed grass. Service animals are welcome. The Arboretum will provide sighted guides for participants who request one on the registration form.

We will be sitting on the ground at times so travel camp chairs, yoga mats, or blankets are encouraged.

Audience: This program is geared towards adults with visually impairments.
