About this Event

"Kind to Me" Hike

💚 Overcoming Comparison with Self-Kindness

Theme: Self-Love Principle #4 — Kindness to Self

Comparison steals joy and blinds us to our own beauty. This W.I.L.D. Love hike focuses on kindness to self — cultivating warmth, tenderness, and self-compassion. As we hike, reflect, and breathe in creation’s beauty, we’ll explore what it means to treat yourself with the same gentleness you extend to others.

The comparison game ends when compassion begins. You’ll leave lighter, freer, and more at peace in your own skin.

Come as you are. Leave renewed, whole, and wildly loved.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This is your reminder that gentleness, not judgment, leads to growth. Join us for a heart-centered walk toward inner peace. 🌿Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with nature and fellow hikers. See you there!

What does W.I.L.D. mean?
Wholehearted Internal Love Development
What is the definition of Wild Love?
"A love that is so endless and unconditional that you doubt you even deserve to experience it; yet a love that chases you down and stops at nothing to make you realize that you are deserving of such love" (Urban Dictionary)... and you can give it to yourself.
