What we’re about
This is a group for women who both want to connect with other women socially and are craving nature, quiet, mindfulness as well as connection. There will be time for both silent hiking and meditation as well as hiking and chatting to connect with each other. I love hiking with others but sometimes feel that I'm so busy socializing I'm not able to connect with the gorgeous bay area nature around me or connect with myself.
Hike lengths will vary between 4-10 miles depending on the hike.
1. Meet at designated trail head.
2. We will hike for periods of silence and periods of chatting.
3. We will stop for 20 minute meditations a few times during a hike.
4. The organizer will read a few nature based poems during the hike.
4. We'll stop and break for snacks/lunch. If time permits, sharing.
5. Walk back to trail head while socializing.
Be sure to bring your own water, food and wear hiking or tennis shoes. Also helpful to bring something to sit on for meditation, yoga blocks, small inflatable cushion if you don't want to sit directly on ground.
Please be covid safe and health aware. If you don't feel well in any way, please stay home to rest and please follow mask guidance in public restrooms. No masks will be required on hikes but of course can be worn as desired.
No children or pets, please.

Meditation and nature are proven antidotes for our busy modern lives, I hope you all will join me in giving this time to yourself!
