Looking to deepen your connection with the outdoors—right here in NYC!

Join the Appalachian Mountain Club this National Wellness Month for restorative walks and journaling experiences in parks throughout New York City. Every Sunday afternoon is dedicated to folks in their 20s & 30s.

We’ll begin in Central Park at the 72nd Street entrance and Central Park West, aka the "Women's Gate." Then we'll ease into a mindful nature-bathing experience as we take in the park's natural beauty. From there, we’ll stroll at a relaxed pace around the lake, crossing the iconic Bow Bridge before settling in at Sheep Meadow for a peaceful journaling workshop.

Journaling prompts will be provided to help guide your reflections, but you're welcome to write freely—whatever speaks to you in the moment. The focus of this walk is to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with yourself through nature and self-expression.

We’ll wrap up back on West 72nd St at the Women's Gate, leaving you grounded, inspired, and refreshed.

Bring water, weather-appropriate clothes, a journal / notebook, writing or drawing utensils, sturdy footwear, and a positive attitude! Well behaved and leashed dogs are permitted on this walk.

If weather forces cancellation, we'll post an update at least 2 hours in advance.
