Recovery Healing Hike

Last Sunday of Every Month!

Are you on the path to recovery from substance use, addiction, or grappling with mental health challenges? Do you find yourself facing isolation and alone? Is there a pull towards the outdoors, yet the idea of venturing alone feels daunting? Are you encountering difficulties in connecting with fellow individuals in recovery or nurturing a connection with your Higher Power?

This healing hike is for you! It is designed for us to slow down, practice being in our body by connecting to our senses and see the beauty all around us. Studies show that spending mindful, intentional time around trees (or forest bathing) can promote health and happiness.

WHAT TO EXPECT: A slow, intentional walking meditation, paired with guided teachings founded in natures elements, a sharing circle in an open field, ending with building community and getting to know one another as walk back together.

My intention is to create a new experience that guides you through the forest, tapping into the core teachings these lands provide; health & calmness, happiness & joy, gratitude & reciprocity, awareness & connectedness.

TAKE HOME: Simple daily practices, rituals, and new copings tools. You may feel lighter, more at peace with yourself, connected to earth and your heart, have a new perspective about nature and broaden you recovery community.
