Mindfulness Walk

Our 53-acre nature sanctuary is home to the Blue Hole, the source spring of the San Antonio River. We are a nonprofit Earth care ministry of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. Headwaters at Incarnate Word is restoring our urban landscape through the removal of invasive plants and propagation of native species in an effort to increase biodiversity and benefit local wildlife. We offer educational programs for adults and children that focus on nature, local history, and conservation of our shared natural and cultural resources. Finally, we provide a sanctuary where people are encouraged to reflect and find meaning in their connection with the Earth, themselves, and each other.

Headwaters at Incarnate Word

On this relaxing walk through the Headwaters Sanctuary, Mobi will guide participants to use awareness of the breath in order to refresh body, mind, and spirit and to connect with the beauty of the natural world. She will also share the Buddhist practice of gathas  – creating short phrases or poems that arise from simple tasks like taking a step or looking at a leaf that can help one maintain awareness, gratitude, and wonder.
Mobi Warren is a former student of the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh and translator of several of his books including The Miracle of Mindfulness. Mindfulness has been the heart of her spiritual practice for over 40 years.
The program is limited to 12. The walk will commence at the Main Sanctuary trailhead.
