Hwadu Hikes
Step out of the city and into the stillness of nature. One Sunday each month, we gather in Oslo’s forests to walk in silence and wonder, carrying the question that lies at the heart of Zen. Each step becomes a moment of inquiry, a meeting of body, mind, and nature. It is a simple way to stay active, enjoy fresh air, become part of our community, and discover how the question itself reveals the wonder within every moment of life.
