Join our mindful nature-loving community for a weekly guided mindfulness walk in the woods. In summer, we relocate our program to the New Rochelle side of Sheldrake, stimulating our senses with the subtle differences. Each week, we’ll connect with the natural world around us. Guided gentle movement and meditation will be offered. Each session will end with a calming tea. You will receive a backpack with a seat cushion and blanket to make yourself comfortable during our seated moments under the shelter of the cooling forest canopy.
