About us
Peaceful, healing, mostly silent walks in Walnut Creek Park near Parmer and N Lamar. The opportunity is to slow down and connect with the generous residents of this amazing forest, and discover greater kindness, space and open curiosity within.
-
Current schedule is 7AM Tuesdays and Saturdays.
(I don’t create separate events as that’s too expensive. Check the event before heading out to confirm there's been no cancellation.) -
Meet at Walnut Creek Park, 12138 N. Lamar Blvd · Austin, which is the end park entry closest to the entrance from Willow Wild and Parmer. Look for me: I'm 5'7", have wild white hair and glasses, and usually carry a wooden cane with me.
These walks are free, and I very mcuh appreciate contributions via Zelle or Venmo if you feel so moved.
We spend most of our time on paved trails, and occasionally walk on generally smooth dirt trails. This always depends on who joins. If you use a walker or need to bring a stroller, we'll make it work. Binoculars, sketchbooks and cameras are welcome. All levels of walkers are welcome. The pace tends towards easy rather than speedy.
As a Reiki practitioner, all our walks involve energy healing for the forest and participants. You can internally choose to accept that energy, or not.
- Over time, I'll be adding related reading suggestions and other supporting information of interest about Reiki, forests and how they communicate, how the terpenes help our human bodies, etc.
