In celebration of the Summer Solstice, Sandy Wilson will lead a guided mindful walk at Pine Hollow Arboretum from 10am – 12:30pm on June 22. The solstice is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky and marks the moment when the days cease to get longer.
During this group walk, you will have time for private communion with nature and an opportunity to express your experience with the group. Sandy will offer a series of mindfulness invitations that will help you focus your awareness on your senses. Tea will be served after a mindful sit spot, prior to leaving the forest. Feel free to bring a notebook and pen.
Sandy will guide our group to engage with nature in the present moment, as we experience it through all of our senses, to appreciate the complex wonders we often don’t notice when we are rushed or distracted. During this walk, we will be sauntering slowly on gently rolling forested trails.
What to expect & what to bring
This event will include periods of slow walking, mostly on trails, as well as periods of standing and sitting in the woods. Please remember to dress in weather-appropriate layers. We walk slowly and take time to sit and linger on these walks. Bring water and a snack. No experience necessary — beginners are very welcome.
