11 a.m - 12pm

Be part of a global walking meditation in the spirit of Thich Nhat Hanh. 100+towns in 22+countries will be participating worldwide.

This year’s theme, “The Power of Small Acts,” reminds us that even small, mindful actions can create meaningful change. Together with sanghas worldwide, we’ll walk in joy, compassion, and connection.

We’ll gather at the Alfred H. Savage Centre (13909 Fox Drive NW, Edmonton) for a mindful walk along the Whitemud Creek Trail.

CONTEMPLATIONS: THE POWER OF SMALL ACTS

May I become aware of what I am sending out into the world.

May I patiently plant and nurture wholesome seeds, and not hope for quick success.

May I reflect on the power of my actions – my thoughts, words, and deeds.

May I deeply understand that no wholesome act is ever lost or meaningless.

May I not rush past the small joys of the day.
May I do my best and then let go of my expectations.

May I free myself from the pressure of having to save the world alone.

May I anchor small acts of loving-kindness in my life and turn them into habits.

May I learn to touch happiness in simple things and in everyday encounters.

May I smile kindly at my imperfections again and again throughout the day.

May all beings be happy.
