Guided Meditative Nature Walk: An EDC Grounding Event with Ebram Victoria
October 30 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm EDT
Interested in the healing affects of nature and meditation? Join us and RSVP for a special nature walk with our very own EDC curator, Ebram Victoria.
This event teaches strategies for unlocking mindfulness in urban landscapes. Ebram Victoria will guide us through processes of awakening our senses and strengthening our relationship with nature. Join us to practice the art and techniques of creating mental and physical balance.
Come as you are. No special attire or footwear necessary. The route will explore various terrains available on the HBCU campus (primarily via paved sidewalks).
This event is a continuation of the EDC’s 2024-25 itinerary for “Reimagining Land,” anchored in a monthly series of “Groundings” that explore Baltimore’s ecology, history, and contemporary placemaking efforts through experiential events.
Itinerary:
The guided meditation walk will begin and end at Morgan State University’s Center for the Built Environment at 5299 Perring Pkwy Baltimore, MD 21239. The rout will be around 1 mile long and will take us through James Welling Park.
Afterward please join us for casual drinks and food at the nearby Maggie’s Farm located on Harford Rd.
Guide Bio:
Ebram Victoria is a PhD candidate in Architecture, Urbanism, and the Built Environment and recent graduate of the Master of Landscape Architecture program at Morgan State University. Prior to graduate school, he received a Bachelor of Science in Corporate Communication and a minor in Philosophy from the University of Baltimore. As an environmental entrepreneur, designer, and advocate, his work focuses on using hybrid models of green infrastructure to reclaim and create landscapes that provide extrasensory experiences; spaces that remind us (and the birds, bees, and butterflies) of nature’s allure. Through private practice, Ebram stays engaged in the urgent preservation and conservation of existing natural landscapes, and the strategic retrofitting of unsustainable urban sites. Ebram’s present research aims to elevate a conversation around designing with nature to integrate environmental therapies, and the expansion of existing ecosystem services to include the protection and promotion of human homeostasis: mind, body, and spirit.
