Mindful Nature Journaling Hike at SUNY Purchase

Join me for a gentle hike on the SUNY Purchase campus. We'll explore some natural areas under ecological restoration including the Blind Brook Forest and ascend to a high point for an overview of the area.

We'll meet at the West Parking Lot and hike for approximately 30 minutes pausing for a 5 minute guided mediation followed by a 15-20 minute nature journaling session where we'll journal our impressions.

• Meet up: West Parking Lot at the SUNY Purchase Performing Arts Center
• Specifically: the triangular area with benches next to the PAC entrance
• I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm layers
• Pencils & journals are provided (or feel free to bring your own)
• Call or text me with any questions (917) 689-4651

Mindful Nature Journaling Hikes engage participants with nature threefold; the hike immerses us in nature, the meditation quiets the nervous system, and the journaling provides the means to closely observe and thereby connect more deeply with the natural surroundings.
