Join me for a hike through Owl’s Head Park. We’ll enter the park and hike 30 minutes pausing for a 5 minute meditative breathing exercise followed by a 20 minute nature journaling session where we’ll write, sketch, trace, doodle, or notate our impressions. Then we’ll hike back out.

Mindful Nature Journaling Hikes engage participants with nature threefold; the hike immerses us in natural surroundings, the meditation quiets the nervous system, and the journaling provides the means to closely observe and thereby connect more deeply with nature.
