Slow down, step outside, and reconnect with the present moment. 
Join us for a series of guided Mindfulness Hikes designed to help you unwind, sharpen your senses, and deepen your connection to the natural world. These gentle, all-levels walks invite participants to notice the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of nature through simple mindfulness practices and guided reflection.

Each hike will take place at a different scenic location, offering fresh experiences and new perspectives along the way. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, spend more intentional time outdoors, or simply enjoy a peaceful walk in good company, these hikes provide a welcoming space to breathe deeply and be present.

Come as you are, comfortable walking shoes and curiosity encouraged.
