About this Event

🌲Mother's Day Hike-Picnic-Journaling 📖

This Mother's Day, we're creating space in nature for everyone.

Not everyone is a mother. Not everyone has a mother present in their life. Some people are celebrating, some are healing, some are holding complex feelings. All of that is welcome here.

Join me on a gentle hike, a peaceful picnic, and quiet journaling time outdoors. No pressure, no expectations, just fresh air, shared trail moments, and space to reflect in your own way.

Bring your journal, water, snacks, and anything that helps you feels grounded. We'll move slowly, rest often, and let the day unfold naturally.

🌲All Levels Welcome

🌲Come solo or bring a friend

🌲A soft place to simply be

Insects such as mosquitoes can be quite bothersome. Remember to bring insect repellent to avoid being bit. Wear adequate clothing and sunscreen and bring at least 3L of water along with snacks and electrolytes. As always, please pack your 10 essentials for safety reasons!
