About this Event

Reset Outdoors Community Hike is a regular group outing designed to increase your general sense of well-being and connection while combining gentle exercise and time spent in nature.

Our mindful hikes begin and end with a personal check in using our THRIVE Compass tool. We then hike to our halfway point and the group is led through an experiential exercise before we head back.

Our events are a safe space intended to foster a sense of community, while promoting time spent outdoors & self-care.

Reset Hikes are open to all community members of any fitness level, and aim to be accessible to everyone -- please let us know how we can help accommodate any needs you may have. No hiking experience necessary!

Hike are limited to 15 People - If you are not able to attend please make sure to let us know at least 24hrs in advance so we can open up a space for someone else.

We look forward to meeting you and enjoying a Hike together!

Our goal is to begin our check-in activity promptly at the start time and be on the trail shortly after. Please arrive at the park 10 minutes prior to the start of the hiking session to find the group and for any necessary preparation time (applying bug spray, etc). Our hikes are anywhere from 1.8 to 3 mile walk through moderate/varied terrain with gradual elevation gains that could be challenging for some. We aim to finish no later than two hours after the start time.

Note to Participants:

Please be sure to check the weather beforehand and dress appropriately. Don’t forget bug spray and sunscreen! Attendees MUST bring a full water bottle . If you have any medical conditions that might impact your hike, please alert the facilitators upon your arrival, and bring any medications you might need (inhaler, epipen, heart meds, etc).

We cannot wait to see you out on the trails!
