Join us for the last Guided Mindfulness Walk of the year focused on connections in nature. Through gentle movement, discussion, journaling, and sensory meditation, you’ll deepen your roots by connecting with yourself, your community and the natural environment. Participants will receive a small blank notebook for journaling.
As we bid farewell to the growing season, those dazzling fall leaves are here to light up our shorter days. Don't forget to let some leaves blanket the ground in garden beds and at the base of trees. They act as the cozy quilt tucking in our overwinter insects like fireflies and Luna moths.
