  • Mindful Movement – Experience a gentle return to yourself in nature
  • Forest Bathing – Immerse in the sights, sounds, and scents of nature
  • Service Project – Give back through light environmental stewardship
  • Guided Meditation – Reflect on and connect with the environment

Programming will run rain or shine – Portions of the program may be moved indoors dependent on weather. Please wear comfortable clothing, dress for the weather, and bring water and any items you may need.

Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, this gathering offers a meaningful way to give and receive from nature while restoring balance within yourself.
