International Walking Meditation

Inspired by Zen-Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thây)

This is a happy moment!

In the last two years our walks were attended by more then 101 towns in 25 countries and we enjoyed the collective energy very much (see video presentation 2024).

We are happy to announce that we continue this joyful and connecting practice in 2026 and we will start in April to find a topic for 2026.

We will walk on Saturday, November 28 at 11 am CET (Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam…) – participating towns outside Europe will walk at 11 a.m of their local time.

To register and to get an overview of all participating cities and places please XXX check our announcement page XXX

The international walking meditations are organised by sanghas in the tradition of Plum Village, the Order of Interbeing, and regional groups of the XXX Network for Mindful Business (NAW) XXX.

We have organised this collective practice in the German speaking world since 2008, walking with topics like "Mindful consumption", "Peace in myself, peace in the world", "We are the Climate Change", "Awakening to Interbeing" or "Every Euro is a vote", "Touching Simplicity", or "The Power of Small Actions".

A Postcard in German and English will soon be available and will be ready for download here.

Walking Together

Thây has offered public walking meditations throughout his life, we will walk peacefully and in mindfulness together.

On Saturday, November 28,we will connect ourselves deeply with our steps and contemplate together on simplicity, simple life, simple joys in an atmosphere of togetherness and mindfulness.

By walking carefully through our city, we want to set a silent sign for our inner abundance. We are in deep contact with the external symbols of purely material promises of happiness. Our practice amidst the consumer frenzy of the holiday season can help us develop a deeper understanding of what we truly want to give to others and to ourselves, and how we all are interconnected.

After the walk we recommend to organise a joint exchange with tea and cookies...

We look forward to walking together as one peaceful organism.

May all beings be happy!
