Barefoot Walks/Grounding Series w/ We Explore Earth @ Bolsa Chica

Barefoot Joel, a professional naturalist who has been barefooting since 2009, will serve as your mentor in this 3-part series that offers a step-by-step transitional process for you to enliven your senses from the ground up. Beginners welcome, even if you missed the first sessions.

For part 3 of your barefoot journey, we’ll follow a sandy trail at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve for a greater distance through an incredible bird sanctuary where thousands of species congregate. We’ll carefully navigate the varied textures underfoot while opening our senses to the distinctive sights, sounds and smells of this mesmerizing marsh. We’ll stop frequently to acclimatize our feet and identify birds, other wildlife and plants. Binoculars will be shared. Offered in collaboration with We Explore Earth.

DIFFICULTY: Easy. Full sun exposure. Minimal elevation gain. Flat trail. 1-2 miles round-trip.
