Morning Mindfulness

About This Event

Lake Wingra is a magical place, and we are thrilled to partner with Amie Heeter to bring morning mindfulness. 

We take the morning to pair our love for the water with time-tested practices that enhance our relationship with nature and nurture our mind/body/heart. As we float and take in the morning sounds, we attune ourselves to the rhythms of our breath, body, and the surrounding elements.

**Why breath and meditation?**

– Connecting with breath in a conscious way allows us to replenish, vitalize, and release tension.

– Meditation brings us fully to the moment, expanding beyond surface-level thoughts and impressions to the depths of awareness, diminishing stress and fragmented attention towards coherence & presence.

– A unique opportunity to practice outside in a natural setting.

**Event Details:**

  • Arrive at 6:15 am and gather with other attendees before paddling out with Amie to a secluded spot on Lake Wingra to enjoy the magical moments of early mornings on the Lake.
  • Secure your boat to anchor lines and relax into the 45-minute guided breath & meditation practice
  • Enjoy a leisurely paddle back to Wingra Boats. Breakfast, coffees or pastries can be purchased from Marigold Cafe upon your return.
