Join Plant Powered Metro New York for a restorative summer afternoon on the North Shore, featuring mindfulness practices, gentle movement, a bring-your-own picnic lunch, and community connection in a coastal setting.

Led by Natalie Zolotareva, PPMNY Nutrition Educator, the morning will begin at the Hempstead Harbor Shoreline Park trailhead with a brief guided meditation focused on sensory awareness.
Next, we'll take a mindful walk along a 4-mile out-and-back coastal path at an easy pace. The walk will include guided mindfulness prompts and opportunities for conversation.

After the walk, we'll gather for a second mindfulness practice for sensory awareness through sight, smell, touch, and taste prior to enjoying lunch together.
Please bring comfortable walking shoes, water, and a picnic lunch in a backpack to enjoy following the program.

The event will start at the trailhead off of West Shore Road and end at Bar Beach in North Hempstead, about a 10-minute drive from the Port Washington LIRR station. Carpool rides from the station are available if requested. If you would like a ride, please contact corey.simoneau@ppmny.org in advance to arrange pickup.
