Join me for a hike at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. We'll hike the Pat Dolan Trail around Willow Lake for approximately 30 minutes pausing for a 5 minute guided mediation followed by a 15 minute nature journaling session where we'll write, sketch, trace, doodle, or notate our impressions. Then we'll hike back out.
This is an true "urban hike" in that you'll experience a sharp and immediate contrast between city infrastructure and wilderness. The trail crosses over the Grand Central Parkway and leads us into the shady wetlands around Willow Lake. As we hike into the park the highway noise becomes background to birds, crickets, and the plod of our footsteps.
engage participants with nature threefold; the hike immerses us in nature, the meditation quiets the nervous system, and the journaling provides the means to closely observe and thereby connect more deeply with nature within the NYC.
