In-Person: Contemplative Walk Through Lower Manhattan

renewal, and foster personal transformation. By journeying to places of significance, pilgrims create space for reflection, encounter history, and connect more deeply with land and community. Join Lin Wang Gordon and Felicia Dickerson for a contemplative walk through Lower Manhattan. Moving at a mindful pace, we will visit sites of historical and cultural significance, including the African Burial Ground National Monument, the National Museum of the American Indian, and the 9/11 Memorial. As we walk, we will reflect on the many histories held by this land and our own relationship to place, memory, and community. The walk will be held primarily in silence, with periods of meditation and contemplative practice at various sites, followed by gentle inquiry and opportunities for sharing. Together, we will explore what it means to walk through a city not simply as a passerby, but as a pilgrim—slowing down, paying attention, and allowing the land and its stories to speak to us. Please bring a light snack or lunch to eat during the event. While we won’t stop for lunch, feel free to enjoy snacks along the way.
