🌲 THE REAL Walk & Conversations × Seeds of Change A Journey Through Nature, Silence & Human Connection 💙🌱 Saturday, October 17, 2026 | 10:00 AM 📍 Arz El Chouf – Shouf Biosphere Reserve, Lebanon The third Saturday of the month is approaching, and this time, we’re heading into the magnificent mountains of Lebanon! 🇱🇧 Join us for a beautiful gathering where THE REAL Mental Health Foundation meets Seeds of Change, bringing together mindful walking, meditation, meaningful conversations, and the healing presence of nature. Our destination? The breathtaking cedar forests of Arz El Chouf, where ancient trees remind us of the beauty of being grounded, connected, and present. 🌿 What to Expect ✨ Guided Nature Walk – Discover the beauty of Lebanon’s cedar forests. 🧘 Silent Walking Meditation – Experience the power of silence, presence, and conscious breathing. 💬 THE REAL Conversations – Connect through authentic dialogue, listening, and shared human experiences. 🌱 Seeds of Change Reflections – Explore the power of our thoughts, words, and inner awareness through guided reflections. 🤝 Connection & Discovery – Meet wonderful people, create friendships, and perhaps discover a few hidden gems along the way! I’ll also be reaching out to some of my dear friends in the region who may join us and share their love and knowledge of this beautiful part of Lebanon. 🥗 And Then… Lunch! After our walk, we’ll leave room for spontaneity! Depending on everyone’s wishes, we may gather for lunch at Coara, where my dear friends prepare delicious, authentic vegan food inspired by local traditions. Or perhaps we’ll discover another beautiful place together. Book your day! We know where our journey begins, and we’ll allow the rest to unfold naturally. 🌿 📅 Event Details 📆 Saturday, October 17, 2026 🕙 Meeting Time: 10:00 AM sharp 📍 Location: Shouf Biosphere Reserve – Barouk Cedar Forest or Maasser El Chouf Cedar Forest 📌 Exact meeting point will be confirmed with registered participants. 💚 Contribution: Voluntary donation in appreciation of the guided silent walk, meditation, reflections, and facilitation.

Through Seeds of Change, an experience created and facilitated by Reina Hallab, we explore the power of words, conscious awareness, listening, and meaningful human connection. Together, these two experiences invite us to reconnect with ourselves, with one another, and with the world around us. Walk. Breathe. Listen. Reflect. Connect. Because every meaningful conversation plants a seed of change. 🌱 💌 Join Us! Everyone is welcome! 📩 Please send me a private message to confirm your participation. Feel free to invite friends who would enjoy a meaningful day surrounded by nature and beautiful company. One step. One breath. One conversation. One seed of change. 💙🌲 THE REAL — “It’s not therapy. It’s therapeutic.” #TheREAL #SeedsOfChange #MentalHealthAwareness #MensMentalHealth #ShoufBiosphereReserve #CedarsOfLebanon #LebanonEvents #WalkingMeditation #MeaningfulConversations #HumanConnection #MindfulLiving
