- **Event Description**: A FREE mindful walk to remember Zen Master Thich Nhat HanhAbout this EventMindful Walk in Remembrance of ThaySunday 25 January 2026 | 11:00am | Glenavana Glen, WhiteabbeyMy teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay), passed away on 22 January 2022. I first met him at Plum Village in July 2005, and from that moment he profoundly shaped my life. He was a pioneering advocate, teacher, and practitioner of mindful walking as a path to healing, peace, and transformation.A week after his passing, I led a mindful walk in Whiteabbey to honour his life and legacy. Since then, this free walk has become an annual tradition each January, marking the anniversary of his transition. Everyone is welcome to join us in practicing as Thay taught us—to breathe, to walk, and to generate peace together.What to Expect:11:00am – Meet at the top of Glenavana Manor, where the 'big white stones' lead to the glen11:10am – Brief instruction in mindful walking (suitable for all levels, including complete beginners)11:20am – Form a circle and sing Plum Village songs together (this is how every mindful walk begins at Plum Village)11:30am – Silent mindful walk through the beautiful Glenavana Glen12:15pm – Tea break and optional sharing (please bring your own cup/flask)12:45pm – Walk back freely, not in silenceWhat to Bring:Your own cup or flask for teaComfortable walking shoesWeather-appropriate clothingAn open heartImportant Information:Children and Dogs: Most welcome! However, please note that we practice walking in silence together. If your child or dog finds silence challenging, this may not be suitable. When children and animals can settle into the peaceful atmosphere, they often benefit greatly from the practice. Please be mindful of the group experience.Responsibility: You are responsible for any children or animals you bring. Immeasurable Minds cannot accept liability.Cost: This is a FREE event—just turn up. Donations are welcome but never expected.Why This Walk MattersI'm deeply grateful to Thich Nhat Hanh. His only request was ever for us to practice—to breathe for him, to walk for him, to live mindfully. I remember for his 80th birthday, he simply asked people to enjoy a mindful cup of tea each day as a gift to him. So we do that on the walk too. ?Thay's teachings have touched countless hearts across every country in the world. This annual walk is my way of honouring his life and continuing his practice. Whether you've practiced with Thay's teachings for years or are simply curious about mindful walking, you're warmly invited to join us.Read more about Thay's impact on my life here.Practical Details:Date: Sunday 25 January 2026Time: 10:30amLocation: Glenavana Manor, Whiteabbey (meet at the top where the big white stones lead to the glen)Duration: Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes maxCost: FreeRegistration: Not required—just turn up!Walking in mindfulness, we arrive in each moment.
