Nature Hike on May Canyon Trail - Winter

🌞🌿 Community Nature Hike with Scorpio Gardens 🌿🌞

Take a morning to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with both the land and community. This hike blends mindfulness, gentle movement, and environmental education — an experience designed to nourish both body and spirit.

📍 Location: May Canyon Trail, Veterans Memorial Community Regional Park (Sylmar, CA)
🗓️ Date: Sunday, December 14, 2025
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM
👥 Co-facilitated by: Ethereal Coraje & Sophia Onaja
💚 This is a free, donation-based event! Contributions are welcome (Zelle/Venmo/cash) and help us keep community hikes going 🌿✨

We’ll open our morning with a Five Senses Mindfulness practice 🌬️👂👀 to ground us in the present, followed by a gentle full-body stretch 🤸🏽‍♀️ to prepare for the trail. Then, we’ll set out on a guided nature hike that weaves together storytelling, community conversation, and native plant identification 🌿✏️.

Along the way, we’ll reflect on how the plants around us are part of the larger ecosystem of the San Fernando Valley and what they can teach us about care, resilience, and interconnectedness.

• 💧 Water to stay hydrated
• 🧢 Sun protection (hat, sunscreen)
• 📓 A nature journal + pen/pencil (optional but encouraged!)
• 👟 Comfortable hiking/walking shoes
• 💚 An open mind and heart, ready to connect with nature and one another

Please park in the northmost lot near the trailhead, directly to the left as you enter the park.

The hike follows a fire road with a mix of paved and unpaved terrain. Expect uneven footing, a gradual incline, and full sun exposure 🌞 — please come prepared with water and sun protection.

This community hike is about more than just walking a trail — it’s about building relationships with the land and each other. Whether you’re curious about native plants, looking to deepen your mindfulness practice, or simply wanting to connect with others who care about nature, this experience is for you.

✨ Let’s learn, stretch, and root deeper in community together. ✨
