Mindful Nature Walks - 100 Acres

We are able to compensate our practice leaders fairly AND offer this program for free for all participants thanks to donations from everyday people like you and me. Thank you for supporting community well-being! If you’d like to contribute you may do so on our website.

About Our Walks: We invite you to join us for quiet walking and mindfulness practices in a small group setting. Every Body Welcome! Our Mindful Nature Walks include periods of quiet observation, movement, and a variety of prompts and activities you may try. This practice is a gentle way to return to a sense of ease in the body and ease in the breathing as we walk near flowing water, big trees, and wildlife and observe the world we are a part of. Come as you are and just be yourself!

This practice is suitable for all ages. The park includes a paved ramp and gravel, mulch, and grass surfaces. There are portable toilets available at this location year round, and bathrooms inside the Visitors Pavilion April through October.
