Achtsamkeit am Rhein - Outdoor-Sommerkurs

In the organizer's words:

🌿 🌞 Mindfulness on the Rhine - outdoor summer course

Summer invites you to go outside. Away from the screen. Away from everyday life. And to reconnect with yourself. This summer, we will be practising mindfulness outdoors on the banks of the Rhine in Düsseldorf-Hamm.

Research shows that spending time in nature has many positive effects:

🌿 Cortisol levels (stress hormone) fall

🌿 Blood pressure and heart rate are reduced

🌿 The activity of the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation nerve) increases

🌿 The concentration of natural killer cells (immune system) increases

🌿 Depressive symptoms can be alleviated

The mindfulness experience in nature has a particularly intensive effect: the combination of spending time in nature and practising mindfulness leads to a deeper relaxation response and increases the stress-reducing effect.

What you can expect:

🌺 Mindfulness exercises and meditation in nature on the banks of the Rhine in Düsseldorf-Hamm - as a beneficial balance to everyday digital life

🐚 We use nature as an anchor for peace and presence and integrate the natural conditions in the midst of nature: water, sand, meadow, wind, sun, sky and earth

🌊 We move through different places on the banks of the Rhine - sometimes on the meadow, sometimes directly on the water, sometimes in the open sandy area

🐞 Guided meditations and simple mindfulness practice while walking, sitting and standing

🌸 Consciously perceiving your surroundings with all your senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting)

You do not need any previous knowledge of mindfulness or meditation.

Sitting pads are provided - but you are welcome to bring your own blanket.
