A Mindful Walk in Jack London State Historic Park

As part of California State Parks Week, Jack London State Historic Park will offer “A Mindful Walk” with guide, author, storyteller and musician Jeff Falconer.

Walking Meditation has been practiced for centuries around the world. The everyday activity of walking, combined with an awareness of one’s breath, one’s own body in motion, and one’s surroundings can quickly reward the mindful walker with a deep calm and increased sense of belonging in the natural world. This easy discipline offers a valuable enhancement to the long-established benefits of walking as exercise.

Falconer will begin the journey at 9:30 am with a brief overview of Walking Meditation, followed by a short standing meditation to ground and center participants before embarking. Walking begins with a relaxed loop around Jack London’s beloved Beauty Ranch.

The hike is free. Park admission is $10 per vehicle, up to nine passengers. Reservations are required.
