Sunday 3rd: Mindful Peace Walk Saughton Park
We will walk together in mindfulness and peace at Saughton Park.

- Date: Sunday 3rd September 2023. Time: 12 noon. We will finish within an hour.
- Event Description: This silent walking meditation is an open event. It will be led by the lay members of the Wild Geese sangha in Edinburgh who practice in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. Before the walk begins there will be a brief introduction to mindful walking as a meditation practice. We will just walk in silence. It is not a protest or demonstration but actually putting peace into practice. Dress for the weather – it can get chilly in September!
- Cost: Admission Free. Just come along on the day.
This event is organised in collaboration with the Edinburgh International Centre for Spirituality and Peace.
