Healing Forest Walks

Join Mindy Hill, yoga instructor, for a Healing Forest Walk aimed at helping you to heal by connecting with nature. The walks are free and open to everyone, 15 and older. The group will walk in silence to allow walkers to listen to nature and be aware of their surroundings. Over the course of the walk you may undertake short tasks (forest meditations) that deepen your connection with the forests. Please undertake the task to the best of your ability and inclination.

Typically the Healing Forest Walks will be 1 to 2 hours. Any forest, lake or natural water body, city park, mountain trail can turn into a healing forest walk. The group will walk slowly for 15 minutes and spend then next 20 minutes focusing on one of your senses – sight, sound, smell, taste, touch. We can then continue the walk and stop whenever you find a place that calls out to you. Sit in your space, observe and learn from nature.

Directions to walk: Turn left off North Abington Rd in Clarks Summit onto Lily Lake Road. About 0.25 miles along the road there is a dirt parking lot on the right. The group will meet there.

In the event of inclement weather, please refer to our Facebook page to see if the walk is cancelled, or use your discretion.
