Mindful Nature Journaling Hike / Central Park (Manhattan)

Join me for a hike through Central Park. We'll enter at the West 72nd St/Central Park West entrance and hike for approximately 30 minutes pausing for a 5 minute guided mediation in The Ramble followed by a 15-20 minute nature journaling session where we'll write, sketch, trace, doodle, or notate our impressions, after which we'll hike out of The Ramble, up to Belvedere Castle, and out through the Shakespeare Garden, exiting at 81th street (Natural History Museum).

• Meet up spot: Central Park West & W72nd Street

• Call or text me with any questions (917) 689-4651

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 nature within the NYC.
