SLOWING DOWN IN THE WILD: A backpacking adventure for those who want to take their time and sink into the natural world.
ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE - Slow Down | Breathe Deeply | Nourish Your Spirit
Unwind and find peace as we walk gently and contemplatively across the ridges and wrinkles of the mountains. Beth Jones—Executive Director of Deep Green Journey, long-time Center partner, and certified nature and forest therapy guide—will lead us in spiritual connection and deep slowing, drawing on more than 20 years of guiding experience.
Our groups tend to bond quickly as we gather in community on Friday evening. Over the next couple of days, we ease into a rhythm of mindful hiking, gentle contemplative practices, and spacious rest. We share insights and musings, warm meals, perhaps a few tears—and always lots of laughter— as we attune to the forest and let ourselves remember what it feels like to be calm, quiet, and in close communion with the wilder world.
NEW LOCATION
Come one, come all! This spring, Beth will guide the trip on a new trail in the Bald Eagle State Forest. We will meet and spend our first night at Raymond B. Winter State Park.
