Full Moon Walking Meditation

Take in the sights and sounds of the arboretum under the light of a full moon. Facilitator Bob Linscott will lead the group through some mindfulness in nature practices as we meander along the paved road to our final nighttime viewing location on top of Bussey Hill.

This program begins at South Street Gate. Note that there is no public parking at this gate: the closest parking is on Flora Way, about a 10 minute walk from South Street Gate.

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 entirely on paved roads. We will ascend some moderate hills.

Audience: This program is geared towards adults.
