It is expected to be mostly sunny with temperatures in the upper 50's and light wind. Perfect for spending time with Mother Nature
We will be walking mostly on the trails but may wander a bit too. This route is listed as moderate. Some areas are flat, others are a bit steeper with some rocky terrain.
Please be prepared to walk on a natural dirt trail by wearing solid hiking boots or shoes. Hiking poles might be helpful.
Dress in layers
Our time will be spent pausing & connecting with Nature and practicing proven ways to settle in, get centered & grounded, and help alleviate some of our stresses and anxieties by learning to become more present. More Mindful.
This adventure may also include:
Waking up and warming up our bodies.
Exploring the intimate nooks and crannies of some of the less traveled areas.
Spending some time with a special tree.
Maybe finding an off trail hiding place to settle in and take in the views while we practice a seated meditation (sit spot)
Really connecting with our senses and spend time with Nature.
Ending with "council practice" where we will reconnect and share our Experiences with each other.
