This guided walking nature immersion experience will teach you how to connect to nature and 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 to soak up the environment, and learn about native plants, and how to incorporate what we learn into each day.
