Forest Walk for Mind, Body & Soul: Move, Breathe, Connect, and Recharge in Nature

Looking for a way to combine exercise, meditation, and social connection? This 60-minute guided walk offers all three. Enjoy the benefits of walking in nature while connecting with others, practicing mindfulness, and choosing a pace for exercise or continued meditation.

What to Expect

Meet at the District Education Center, near the front of the building. The group will walk together to the covered bridge at Streetcar Park, part of the Lake Links Trail. We’ll begin with a brief meditation, followed by a silent, meditative walk along the trail. Take in the sights and sounds of nature while allowing yourself to slow down and be fully present. During the final portion of the walk, you can choose to walk together and socialize with the group or continue walking at your own pace as a meditative experience.

Be Prepared

• Wear comfortable walking shoes.
• Dress appropriately for the weather.
• The walk includes both paved and unpaved trails.
• All walking paces are welcome.

Come walk, reflect, connect, and enjoy the restorative benefits of nature.
