🌲 Hike & Meditate in Nature: Ome Trail

About this event

We meet at 8:45am at Shinjuku station Sunday, Nov 29th. Hey all 🌞 It’s a beautiful time to get together, hike, and meditate in nature. This time we’ll be on one of my favorite trails—the Ome Hills Hiking Course (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/japan/tokyo/ome-hills-hiking-course), just 1.5 hours from Shinjuku. 🌿A note from your guide, Natasha I invite you to free yourselves from your devices on a digital detox walk on the Ome Trail when Fall is at its finest to experience the mountain's wistful feelings of nostalgia through muted colors and warm, orange leaves. We all need that extra sunlight before winter goes into full swing. We will do some activities to connect, reflect and be in the present moment at each rest stop along the way. My hope is that we can align better with ourselves and our surroundings at the end of it all to go back and tackle Monday with full force (cry) This will be my first time guiding a mindful hike! I'm green but excited to be a part of this community. I hope we can all unplug and unwind together! Hope to see you there!! 🚫 Digital Detox: This is a phone-free experience. Please plan to be offline for a few hours. I’ll carry phones in a locked bag and take a few photos for everyone, so you can fully drop into presence. 🕑 The schedule: • 8:45 am – Meet at Shinjuku Station, South Exit Gate (新宿駅南口).
