Description
Join us for the first Mindfulness Hike of the series. On this hike we will enjoy hiking short and beautiful loop which ends on the Rush Cove shoreline looking out over Georgian Bay. It will be a leisurely hike on gentile terrain and we will sit in silence the shoreline at the end of the hike.
To assist us in quieting our minds, this will be an unplugged hike, meaning you will be required to leave your phone behind but the hike leader will bring a (powered off) cellphone in case of emergency. At various points in the hike we will explore sensory meditations, hiking in silence and witnessing the world around us.
Everyone is welcome, no prior meditation or hiking experience necessary. To allow time to slow down mindfully, we will be out for approximately 90 minutes.
Hike 2 in this series will take place on Oct. 5th as part of Bruce Trail Day. Follow this link for registration: https://hikes.brucetrail.org/event/mindful-walk-in-nature-mciver-pond-3/2025-10-05/
