Summer Sanctuary: Nature Journaling, Hike & Yoga

We’ll cover ~2.5 miles miles on a guided hike broken up with stops for both nature journaling and yoga. Throughout the morning, we’ll embrace both movement and rest as a way to reflect and celebrate ourselves. Join us for a morning of community, movement, and reflection in nature.

Participants will not only leave with a tool belt of mindful activities and writing skills to use in the future, but also a sense of appreciation for Northeast Ohio’s local flora, fauna, and history. All skill levels welcome!
