Step away from the noise and into nature’s calm. This guided forest walk group blends mindful walking, reflective pauses, and open discussion to help you reconnect with yourself through the natural world. Together, we’ll slow down, notice what surrounds us, and explore how the forest can be a grounding space for self-awareness, stress relief, and healing. No prior experience with mindfulness is needed — just bring comfortable shoes and an open mind.
