A mindful evening walk

How can we escape the overwhelming stimuli of the city?

By slowing down and drawing on creative inspiration, we’ll discover relaxation and tranquillity in everyday life together. Afterwards, a warm bowl of soup provides the perfect opportunity to chat about mindfulness.

Treat yourself to a mindful breather in the heart of Zurich: we’ll gather in the foyer of the Kulturhaus Helferei and set off together on a relaxed stroll. Our route takes us through the historic alleyways around the Helferei. As we walk, we consciously focus our attention on the small, often overlooked oases of nature within the urban environment. Specific creative and meditative prompts drawn from mindfulness practice guide our journey. You’re warmly invited to get actively involved or to experience the route entirely for yourself, in quiet contemplation and silence.

After the walk, we’ll enjoy a warm soup in the Helferei’s rooms. In a relaxed atmosphere, this offers a cosy opportunity to share your experiences with the other participants.

Weather: We go out whatever the weather. Please wear weatherproof clothing. In the event of heavy rain, we’ll adapt the route flexibly, including stops in dry places.

Pace: We’ll stroll for around 75 minutes in total at a relaxed pace, with regular breaks. Everyone who is able to walk comfortably around the city is welcome.

GUIDES: Daniela Cianciarulo (artist, nature educator and nature and life coach) and Luigi Ciasullo (artist and art therapist)
