Step into stillness with fellow 20s and 30s nature lovers a gentle walk where you’ll reconnect with the forest, with others, and with yourself.

Tucked in the quiet heart of Tiverton, Rhode Island, Pocasset Ridge Conservation Area is a forest where time moves a little slower—and the land still tells its stories. On the way there, you’ll glimpse serene views of the bay, as if the coastline itself is guiding you toward something deeper.
This 500-acre woodland sanctuary winds through glacial ridges, moss-covered stone walls, and quiet pine groves, inviting us to leave the noise behind and sink into the stillness of the forest. It’s a place where roots twist through ancient rock, where soft needles blanket the trail, and where silence feels like a gentle companion.

Tiverton, the charming town that surrounds it, sits along the Sakonnet River and offers a picturesque blend of quiet neighborhoods, historic woodlands like Weetamoo Woods, and serene water views — ideal for those seeking nature without the crowds.

🌿 Expect a little magic:
Peaceful pine-scented trails and shaded ridge lines
Old stone walls and hidden forest clearings
Views of the surrounding hills and bay as you arrive
Time to pause, reflect, and feel grounded
This isn’t a workout or a race—it’s an invitation to be present with the land, with one another, and with yourself.
