Workshop | Korean Buddhist Temple Food & Food Meditation Experience
Enjoy a distinguished cultural program highlighting Korean Buddhist temple cuisine, inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list. Rooted in centuries-old monastic culture, Korean temple food reflects a way of living that values simplicity, seasonality, mindfulness, and harmony with nature. Prepared without artificial additives or excessive seasoning, temple cuisine emphasizes the natural integrity of ingredients and a balanced, attentive approach to cooking. Led by Venerable Jeong Kwan Sunim, one of the most respected practitioners of Korean temple food, the program introduces participants to the philosophical foundations underlying this culinary tradition. Through guided preparation and tasting, temple food is presented not merely as cuisine, but as a living cultural practice that integrates ethical awareness, attentiveness, and spiritual reflection into everyday life. The program also incorporates food meditation, guiding participants to slow down and engage all the senses--taste, aroma, texture, and breath--transforming a shared meal into a moment of presence and reflection. Menu:
Spring-Gathered Wild Greens (Namul)
Stir-Fried Dried Zucchini (Autumn Harvest)
Braised Shiitake Mushrooms with Rice Syrup
Dried Persimmon Salad with Gochujang
Allergy Note: Sesame, Soy, Rice, Korean Black Raspberry (Bokbunja)

Workshop | Korean Lunar New Year Cooking Class (Beginners Welcome)
Celebrate Lunar New Year, Seollal, through one of Korea’s most meaningful traditions—food. Led by Korean cooking instructor Jiyoung Park, the workshop features tteokguk (rice cake soup) and kimchi mandu (dumplings), dishes traditionally enjoyed on Seollal to welcome the New Year with wishes for renewal, longevity, and good fortune. Participants will learn how to prepare these comforting dishes while discovering the cultural stories and values behind Korean New Year food traditions. Jiyoung’s teaching philosophy is inspired by Dure, a traditional Korean system of collective labor practiced in farming villages. Rooted in the idea of sharing the burden, Dure emphasizes cooperation, mutual support, and community. In this workshop, participants will cook side by side—sharing tasks, learning collaboratively, and experiencing Korean food culture through the spirit of togetherness that defines both Seollal and Korean culinary traditions.

Workshop | Community Park 5K Run with New York Road Runners
New york Road Runners host a 5K community-led run,open to runners and walkers of all ages, abilities, and experience levels. Evidence of Inwood Hill Park’s formation exists as caves, valleys, and ridges left as the result of shifting glaciers. Evidence of its uninhabited state afterward remains as its forest and salt marsh (the last natural one in Manhattan), and evidence of its use by Native Americans continues to be discovered. Most of the park was largely untouched by wars and development. The park features a hiking trail and the Hudson River Bike Trail, and is one of the best places in NYC to spot a bald eagle. It also includes athletic fields, playgrounds, dog runs, and a barbecue area. The course is three loops on hilly trails and walkways through woods and along a salt marsh.
