Description

On this hike, we'll be visiting McIver Pond and exploring the nearby trails. You won't go far today, but you will go deep ... into your mind and into nature. We'll start off the hike with gentle stretching and breathing exercises to help calm your mind and open your senses to your surroundings. Throughout the hike, we'll enjoy frequent quiet moments together as we bring our attention to the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world. This hike is about connecting with nature, your own mind, and your fellow hikers. Whether you are new to mindfulness or a long-time practitioner, this hike will enhance your experience of Fall's splendour and beauty.

This hike is part of Bruce Trail Day, which celebrates connections on the Trail. This year, we’re highlighting the connections we have with nature and one other - from the people we meet along the way to those indigenous populations who have been here since time immemorial and continue to act as stewards and connect us with the land. #BruceTrailforAll

We'll be gathering at the Pavilion at Cape Croker Park after the hike for an informal gathering to warm up by the fire, enjoy some light refreshments, children’s games, learn about the Bruce Trail and meet new and old friends.
