City Walk | Half-Smiler Walk with Artist Helen Mirra


Helen Mirra’s (b. 1970, United States) artistic practice is contingent on the activity of walking. She proposes a series of morning walks open to everyone, cultivating the half-smile. Mirra begins the half-smiler walks by introducing the concept of equanimity as described in early Buddhist philosophy, and corresponding ideas about the everyday, somatics, and friendliness. After a brief orientation, participants will set out for a few hours, walking separately in space while together in time, and then meet again for convivial lunch. October 3–7 and 10–14, 2016.

Tour | High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park. The tour is every Monday.

Author Reading | Peter Wohlleben discusses his book The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate


Peter Wohlleben shares his deep love of woods and forests and explains the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in the woodland and the amazing scientific processes behind the wonders of which we are blissfully unaware. Much like human families, tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, and support them as they grow, sharing nutrients with those who are sick or struggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat and cold for the whole group.
