Where the Mind Wanders, the Earth Holds. Let yourself drift, wonder, and deepen your roots as we connect mindfully to nature.
About this Event

Wandering Minds, Rooted Hearts: A Mindful Journey Through Nature invites you to slow down, tune in, and reconnect—with yourself and the living world around you. Through a series of themed sessions, we’ll explore practices like awe walks, earthing, sensory awareness, and playful shifts in perspective. Each gathering offers space to gently wander—within and without—while cultivating a grounded, heart-centered presence.

Rooted in nature-based mindfulness, this experience welcomes the curious, the tender, and the restless alike. No experience necessary - this event is accessible to all. Whether you come seeking stillness, inspiration, or simply fresh air, you’ll find a space to pause and belong. Where the mind wanders, the earth holds. Let yourself drift, wonder, and deepen your roots.


Each monthly gathering in Wandering Minds, Rooted Hearts offers a unique theme to explore mindful presence in nature:


🌸 May 23 – Awe walk among spring blooms; notice scents, colors, and subtle details.
🔍 June 26 – Play with perspective through visual focus: zooming in and out to shift awareness.
🌿 July 24 – Ground with the earth: feel textures, walk barefoot, and engage touch.
🌞 August 28 – Practice stillness and listening; observe body sensations and meet discomfort with compassion.
💨 September 25 – Deepen awareness through breath, movement, balance, and spatial presence.
🍂 October 23 – Return to awe with autumn’s pace; smell, see, and sense the season’s shift.


We'll be meeting at a park with a gazebo to sit under, so the events will happen rain or shine. There are picnic tables to sit at and write on, benches under trees, and a field you can sit in on the grass or a blanket. Bring what helps you feel comfortable during mindfulness. Note that we will be moving at times and in stillness at other times - you decide what's right for your body as I guide you through.
More information on what to bring and how to prepare will be sent upon registration.



By signing up, you acknowledge that you accept all potential risk and liability for yourself and anyone in your party. .

Note: There is an entry fee for the park ($2-4/person) that is not covered in registration.
