About this Event
Location and Meeting Info: Park is located at the end of Benjamin Franklin Drive. Park in large dirt parking lot opposite bathrooms and building. Meet at the beginning of the path to the beach.
Join us for a contemplative walk where we will practice mindfulness, breathwork, and using all our senses to connect with nature. Marvel at one of Sarasota County’s spectacular sunsets during a mostly silent, meditative walk. In studies conducted around the world, researchers have found an association between better mental health and living near coasts and other bodies of water. Join a UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County educator or volunteer for an exploration of finding peace within nature and get healthier along the way!
