Registration Requirements: Preregistration required.
Intended Audience: This program is designed for adults. However, interested youth ages 13 and up are welcome to attend with an adult.
Program Description: Reclaim your attention and begin to uncover your natural awareness. Spending time in nature and mindfulness practice have similar and wonderful benefits. Stress levels go down, and calm and concentration go up—just to name a few. This class offers the opportunity to experience the powerful combination of the two. Join us to learn a simple mindfulness technique that will help you enjoy any moment more fully.
About the Guide: Leslie Hanna is a certified mindfulness meditation trainer and coach from Unified Mindfulness. She has practiced yoga and meditation for over 20 years.
What to Expect: Mindfulness training elevates our ability to focus so that we are able to “be here now” and aware of the present moment. We are likely to be sitting or standing for periods of time as well as walking. The walk will take place entirely outdoors on trail and will be approximately 1/2 mile (no more than 1 mile). Beginners and experienced meditators alike are welcome.
What to Wear: We’ll be seated or out on the trails and moving slowly. Please dress in layers to ensure proper warmth and comfort. This program runs rain or shine.
What to Bring: Consider bringing your own lightweight camp chair or a sit-upon (jacket, towel, etc.)
