Description
This guided walking nature immersion experience will teach you how to connect to nature, reconnect with ourselves and our place in the community. Learn how to use your five senses while in nature to improve your health. We will set intentions, periodically stop and soak up the environment, learn about native plants, and how to incorporate what you learn into each day.
We as an organization are adhering to the latest scientific data and safety measures regarding Covid-19 in alignment with the local health department. With all this in mind, we acknowledge the benefits of getting you outside in nature with respect to mental health.
