Join us for a peaceful, healing, mostly silent walk

UPDATE + info about the walk
Check here for updates in the event of potential bad weather, or if I have to cancel due to a personal issue.
Basically, if it's not snowing, raining heavily and without lightening/thunder, we're probably still on.
But always make your choice based on your needs and preferences.

• It's great to RSVP so we know if you may be on your way.

Peaceful, healing, mostly silent walk 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. Check the event page for cancellations.

* Meet at Walnut Creek Park, 12138 N. Lamar Blvd · Austin, at the paved trailhead off the first parking lot as your driving into the park from Parmer on Willow Wild.
* Look for me: I'm 5'7", have glasses, often carry a wooden cane, and have white hair that's either being its wild self or pulled up/back in some sort of twist.
* Inclement weather policy: If the forecast includes active or likely lightening or heavy downpour, then stay safe at home. I'll update the specific event page in those instances.
* All levels of walkers are welcome. The pace tends towards easy rather than speedy, and always accommodates whoever joins and the energy of the moment.
* Mobility: We spend most of our time on paved trails, and occasionally walk on generally smooth dirt trails. If you use a walker or need to bring a stroller, bring it on! We'll happily make it work.

These walks are free, and I very much appreciate contributions.

Binoculars, sketchbooks and cameras are welcome. Stopping for photos or to make a note on my phone is just part of it.
As is the energy healing that just flows in forests. Additionally as a Reiki practitioner, I'm in constant energy exchange with the forest throughout our walks. This healing energy is available to any who want it, and you can internally choose to accept that energy, or not.
*If you're interested in reading suggestions and other supporting information of interest about Reiki, forests and how they communicate, how the terpenes help our human bodies, etc., check out my Walnut Creek Healing newsletter on Substack.
