Welcome the new season with a mindful moment in nature.
About this Event

Embrace the colors of autumn as we take in the magic of the season.

Celebrate the changing of the seasons as we move our focus into that of prosperity and gratitude for the autumn equinox. This special walk will include mindful invitations, as well as foraged tea and an autumnal snack.

Registration: $24 ~ includes mindful forest walk, intuitive painting, and tea ceremony


The practice of forest bathing encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. As a growing global wellness movement, it is backed by nearly 40 years of scientific research on the holistic benefits of immersing yourself in nature.

For your body: Release stress, breathe fresh air, boost your immune system, and get moving.

For your mind: Settle your awareness in nature's soothing atmosphere, and go home with improved sleep and mental focus.

For your spirit: Connect with and gain inspiration from the living earth with increased creativity and mood.

These walks are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. This mindfulness opens the heart and allows us to be fully present. Come discover the healing powers of being in the forest.


Additional Information:

  • Two days before the event, you will receive more information on how to prepare.
  • No experience is necessary; just an open heart and willingness to connect.
  • Walks are slow-paced and cover less than 1 mile.
  • Walks will continue in drizzling rain, as this can enhance our sensory experience.
  • Bathrooms will be available during the walk.
  • Please no pets or children under 12.
  • Please contact us if you have any limitations that the guide should be aware of so that the walk can be modified if necessary.

*Refund policy: Refunds are available up to 24 hours prior to the event. No-shows will not receive a refund.
