Slow, Mindful Walk in Nature at Huntley Meadows Park, about 2 or 2.5 miles

Please join us for an intentionally slow, mindful walk in nature in beautiful Huntley Meadows Park, where we tune in to all of our senses and the present moment!

It's a wonderful, stress-reducing break from our busy lives. It's also a great option if you like to walk in nature with a group but have mobility challenges or just prefer to walk slowly! 🤗

The plan:

We'll meet in the parking lot at the start of the trail near the nature center at 2:30 pm. We'll introduce ourselves there, but then as we start the mindful walk we won't talk, just absorbing the sights, sounds, smells and sensations (we might even bring native herbs or flowers to taste if we can find some!).

We'll continue about a mile to the lake boardwalk (approximately 40 minutes) and then we will talk on the way back, still walking slowly, and share our experiences, plus any other conversation we choose.

If you get restless, of course you are welcome to break off at any time and rejoin us as needed!

We're choosing a Wednesday afternoon so hopefully the park will be quiet and serene, so we can hear the rustling leaves, birdsong and maybe even frogs. There is no cost to enter the park. Note that no dogs are allowed on the boardwalk trail.

If it's sprinkling we will still do the walk and enjoy the sensation of rain, dress accordingly! But if it's stormy or there's heavy rain, we will pivot to a mall walk, stay tuned! Please include your cell number in your RSVP for any late updates.

Important note: Finding Female Friends >50 is transitioning to the easy-to-use Mighty Networks, please join us there for lots of great in-person and virtual events in a secure space! Here's the join link, hope to see you!
Hope to see you!
