About this event
A guided slow-attention walk through the wooded stretch of Riverside Park, borrowing the Japanese shinrin-yoku practice of simply being among trees. Wear comfortable clothing and bring water, a snack and something to sit on. Late afternoon in early October is the right moment for it, with the canopy turning and the light going long.
Why we picked it
Autumn colour and a genuinely restorative hour, free, inside Manhattan — the antidote to a day of sightseeing.
