Diamond Mindful Virtual Event
We held an event where participants could take part in a virtual mindful run, walk or any other mindful sporting, creative, or day-to-day living activity of their choice. By ‘virtually’, we mean anywhere in the world, and at any time of their choosing during that day, whether individually or with others.
Students and tutors on the University of Aberdeen’s Masters in Mindfulness Studies took part in mindful activities from various places around the world on that day, including Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, the Republic of Ireland, the United States of America and the UK.
During the event, approximately 50% of registered participants ran, 35% walked and 17% took part in other mindful activities.
Here are some pictures of the day including some of the participants.
This event was dedicated to the memory of Anthony “Pat” Fox, who always walked mindfully in the countryside, and taught others to do the same by example. Pat grew up as the son of a head-gamekeeper, and became a research biologist with a difference. Our version of mindful walking is extremely similar to his.
