About Mindfulness
& The Riverwalk

Mindfulness means paying attention in the present moment in a way that is open, curious and without judgement. Nature-based mindfulness reduces stress, restores our attention and promotes well-being and a sense of connectedness. From breathing and gratitude practices to mindful scavenger hunts, we invite you to experience the Riverwalk–mindfully.
