Mindful Nature Journaling Hike / Pelham Bay Park

Join me for a hike through Pelham Bay Park . We'll hike for 30 minutes through the native grasslands pausing for a 5 minute meditative breathing exercise followed by a 20-30 minute session of nature journaling whereby participants will sketch, write, photograph, or doodle their impressions. We'll finish by hiking out of the park.

(approx. 1 1/2 hrs total)

Journals are provided. Dressing in layers & wearing comfortable walking shoes is recommended.

We will meet in front of the Visitor Center/Restrooms near the entrance at the pedestrian crossing from the 6 train station.

After you register you will receive an email with more details a week prior to the Hike. However, feel free to reach out anytime with questions: [email protected]

*Mindful Hikes happen on the last Sunday of each month

Mindful Nature Journaling Hikes engage participants with nature threefold; the hike immerses participants in natural surroundings, the meditation brings the nervous system in tune with nature, and the journaling provides the means to closely observe and thereby connect more deeply with nature.
