AUTUMN MINDFULLNESS WALK AT THE KINGSTON LINEAR TRAIL
October 8, 2022 @ 4:00 am - 6:00 am
This walk is part of the O+ Festival.
Greenline, Kingston Plaza terminus of the Midtown Linear Park
While this walk will include some conventional practice of field identification and a little time for socializing, it will focus on the direct experience of our bodies and senses underneath the labels and comparisons. Leader will offer
suggestions for practices to direct the attention in a particular way. This may include short periods in which we’ll refrain from or minimize speaking. Please contact leader Matt Corsaro via email (mattcorsaro@yahoo.com) to register
or ask questions. Group size will be limited to eight.
The 12th annual O+ Festival Kingston — a celebration of art, music and wellness — with headliners Mercury Rev andKimbra plus over 40 musical acts representing a wide cross-section of styles and genres. Dozens of artists, ranging from film, to dance, sculpture, projection, murals and performance art will showcase their work throughout the city of Kingston. The festival will feature cycling events, our beloved Literary SalO+n, late night comedy and an array of public wellness workshops throughout the weekend ranging from yoga to financial literacy for creatives, sound healing and more. And, of course, all of the participating artists and musicians, receive health and wellness care in the O+ Clinic, throughout the festival weekend in exchange for their work. This exchange of the art of medicine for the medicine of art is at the heart of our mission.

The field trips of JBNHS are oriented to nature study. They are free and open to the public. We do, however, sometimes visit sites that charge admission fees, which are the responsibility of the participants. Children are very welcome on field trips, but pets are not. Although there is a brief courtesy waiting period for latecomers, the meeting times are important: please arrive in time to sign up with the leader.
