Brookside Garden

“We can breathe with the Earth and we can breathe for the Earth. Many of us are so caught up in our plans, fears, agitations, and dreams that we are not living in our bodies anymore and we’re not in touch with our real mother, the Earth either. We can’t see all the miraculous beauty and magnificence that Mother Earth ceaselessly offers to us. We live in a world of imagination and we become increasingly alienated. Returning to our breathing brings body and mind back together and reminds us of the miracle of the present moment.” - Thich Nhat Hanh 


Dear friends,

The crocuses are blooming, the birds are singing and once again, we feel ourselves drawn to the beauty of early spring. You are invited to join us for a Mindful Nature Walk at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD.

When: April 13, 2025
Time: 1-4 pm
Where: Brookside Gardens, 1800 Glenallen Ave, Wheaton, MD

We will practice walking mindfully together in silence along mostly paved paths through this lovely botanical garden filled with the delicate flowers and scents of early spring. We will stop occasionally for a short meditation as we connect deeply to life and conclude the walk with a sharing of our experience.
