Description

Throughout this mindful hike, we'll enjoy frequent quiet moments together as we bring our attention to the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world. We won't walk very far and we will go at a leisurely pace. We will also stop several times along the way to take in our surroundings, so dress appropriately. Most of the hike will be silent, with no talking. This can be unsettling if you aren't used to it. However, nature is a great co-regulator and can help you settle into stillness. You will have a chance at the end to share about your experience on today's hike.

Shawn Radcliffe, from the Peninsula Club, will be accompanying us on this mindful journey.
