The Extraordinary in the Everyday: A Mindful Stroll

Janes Walk

Led By Bill Weiss

Join us for a unique exploration of one block—22nd Street between 9th & 10th Avenues. Inspired by Alexandra Horowitz’s book, “On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes”, we’ll slow down and awaken our senses to details we often overlook.

We’ll observe the interplay of architecture and nature, uncover hidden patterns, and marvel at the rich textures and contrasts that make urban life so endlessly fascinating. From the artistry of building facades, to the quiet life of the trees, to the whispers of history etched into brickwork—every inch of this block holds stories waiting to be discovered.

No prior knowledge is required; just bring your curiosity and an openness to seeing the world anew. By the end of the walk, you may find yourself noticing more wherever you go, with a deeper appreciation for the extraordinary in the everyday.

Accessibility

You'll be standing for 90 minutes, as we slowly walk from 10th Ave to 9th Ave and then back. We'll walk on flat sidewalks. No stairs.

RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
