Tour Highlights & Experience

Nature, Meditation, and Opening at City Park

Our journey begins at City Park, Denver’s largest and most picturesque green space. Away from the city’s hustle and bustle, we’ll gather beneath the trees or by the lake to set an intention for the day and begin with lunch and a guided mindfulness practice.

This may include:
A mindful walking meditation along the park’s tranquil pathways
A moment of silent reflection to tune into the present moment
A guided seated meditation to ground the mind and body

This opening practice will help you shift into a state of relaxed awareness, setting the tone for a day of connection, creativity, and presence.

A Moment of Connection at Whittier Café

After grounding ourselves in nature, we’ll walk to Whittier Café, a warm and welcoming community space known for its traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony.

Here, you’ll experience coffee as more than just a drink—it’s a sacred ritual of patience, hospitality, and togetherness. Breathe in the rich aroma filling the room, and savor coffee prepared with care.

While enjoying your coffee, we’ll engage in a guided reflection on mindfulness in daily life. This quiet moment of connection will allow you to deepen your sense of presence and engage in meaningful conversation with fellow travelers.

Artistic Awareness in RiNo’s Street Art District

With our senses awakened, we’ll continue our journey through the vibrant RiNo (River North) Art District—a creative hub known for its bold and expressive street art.

This neighborhood is home to an ever-changing collection of murals and public art pieces, each telling a story of culture, activism, and artistic vision. Our guide will lead a mindful looking exercise, encouraging you to engage deeply with the artwork—taking in the colors, shapes, and textures with fresh eyes.

You’ll also have time for quiet reflection, letting the energy and creativity of the district inspire your own sense of awareness and appreciation.

Savoring Flavors at Denver Central Market

Our journey concludes at the lively Denver Central Market, a food hall that brings together some of the city’s most talented artisans and chefs.

Discover how mindfulness can transform even the chaos of a market into a rich and satisfying experience.

As we wrap up the tour, we’ll reflect on the day’s journey and discuss how to carry this sense of mindfulness and connection into everyday life.
