Impressions & Observations from the botanical garden:

Nice break from the big city life

Felt very enclosed & secure

So many things to discover

Beautiful

Gave me a chance to appreciate & embrace nature

The group name activity was very nice to break the ice and get to know everyone, it added a very nice personal touch to the otherwise isolating practice.

I did not really feel the effects of the meditation to be honest. I was quite distracted by it rather than focussing on myself and relaxing (maybe the weather was also a source of distraction)

I really liked the blindfolding exercise because it forced me to experience my surrounding in a different way and I had to touch things, which I don’t usually do because I don’t like to get my hands dirty

What I liked the most was to listen. You could hear the birds chirping the crunchy sounds of people walking through various floor textures, the leaves moving in the wind, the quiet conversations of people walking by

I did enjoy getting some fresh air, a change of pace and a change of environment. It was very freeing and inspirational.
