Join us for our mindful take on this TikTok trend in Victoria Park. Created for and hosted by LGBTQIA+ people. Free events, sign up below.
Spend some time in nature and queer community with Rainbow Mind! We're putting a mindfulness spin on the 'colour hunt' TikTok trend, as a way to practice bringing our awareness to the present moment. All while enjoying a beautiful spring sunset.
Our Mindful walks offer a safe, welcoming LGBTQIA+ space for you to connect with others, engage all of your senses and learn about mindfulness. It's a great opportunity for us to take a moment away from the stresses of day to day life, be in nature, and practice being mindful and aware in support of our mental and physical wellbeing.
This walk will also involve a creative activity — colour seeking and photography!
Key information
📍 We will meet at the Bonner gate entrance to Victoria Park at 5pm, on the bridge overlooking the canal. Kieran and Nebula will be there to meet you!
🕰️ We plan to be together from 5pm until 6:15pm, but we will take into consideration the weather and the size of the group, so please be aware that the walk may finish early.
👋 We will finish the walk at the same place we started – the Bonner gate entrance to Victoria Park.
🌱 During the walk, you'll be introduced to mindfulness and invited to join Kieran from Rainbow Mind in a mindfulness exercise, focused on tuning into our present experience.
🍁 The rest of the walk will be spent exploring and sensing the world around us. You'll be invited to choose a colour for the hunt and use your phone to take at least 9 photos of that colour during our walk, so that we can compare our grids at the end.
👣 Our route will be easy, non-strenuous, and wheelchair accessible. Please let us know if there might be any support you need or if you have any advice from your GP about not participating in gentle walking/movement.
💧 Please remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring anything you might need for the walk, such as a bottle of water!
