This shall be a mindfulness-based walking experience through nature.

We will take in the sights and scents of the forest and the sounds of nature, awakening our senses as we walk mindfully, letting nature refresh us and bring clarity to our mind. Research has shown that such walks can bring about health benefits.

The walk itself will take about 30-40 minutes and is suitable for all fitness levels and ages. It will begin with a gentle warm up and some explanation of mindful walking (15 minutes) and end with a discussion of the experience (20 minutes). The entire walk experience will take approximately 1.5 hours.
