Name: New Moon Mindfulness Hike - O'Neill Regional Park (Free Community Event)
Start: 2025-08-23T00:15:00.000Z
Location: O'Neill Regional Park

**ABOUT THE MINDFULNESS SESSION**:
Step off the busy path and into the stillness of this Oak Woodland sanctuary. This Nature Bathing & Mindfulness Session combines gentle stretches, breathwork, grounding practices and Qi Gong flows and moving meditations under the Ancestral Oak Trees, to help you slow down, awaken your senses, restore inner calm and balance.

We will begin with a short walk to one of the oldest Oaks named "Grandfather Tree," for some breathing and gratitude practices connecting to Mother Earth, Father Sun and the 6 Directions. Then, we will walk down the Oak Woodland trail, and settle in a nice spot along the flowing creek for some soothing Qi Gong mindfulness practices. Next is a short walk down the creek where we take our shoes off to earth and ground while standing on the sand or in the flowing creek to enjoy our final moving meditation flow.

It is a time to tune into your senses, listen to the unique bird songs, smell the native plants, feel the earth, breath with the trees and observe natures abundance. It's a time to unplug, recharge, immerse yourself in the present moment, connect intimately with Creator, Mother Earth, Father Sun, the Nature and Animal Kingdom and savor the full richness of this mind, body, and soul adventure.

The mindfulness practices I share help to calm the mind and body, regulate the nervous system, harmonize the mind-body-soul, strengthen the physical-mental-emotional-spiritual bodies so you leave feeling uplifted, joyful, balanced and recharged.

Sunset Mindfulness, Earthing, Grounding - Strands Beach - Lions Gate ($8.88 min)

Dana Point Strand Beach. NW corner of parking lot by elevator

**ABOUT THE MINDFULNESS SESSION:** With our bare feet on the earth, I guide us in a variety of fun, easy, slow moving mindfulness and somatic practices that help to calm the mind and body, regulate the nervous system, strengthen the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies, harmonize the mind-body-soul, uplift the energy-frequency-vibration, and enhance health and vitality.

We enjoy a variety of mindfulness, earthing, grounding and somatic practices that include a combination of breathing, gratitude, stretching, Reiki, Qi Gong moves, flows and moving meditations. I share powerful practices that help us create harmony and health within us, which can then be reflected all around us. These practices transform stress into vitality, negativity into positivity, low energy into enhanced energy. Everything starts within us, so we cultivate positive qualities in our practices. The more we engage in these uplifting practices the more joy, harmony and flow we experience in your life.

Enjoying these practices in nature, with our bare feet on the earth, allows us to receive healing, loving, light energy from Mother Earth, Father Sun and the Ocean. The energy we cultivate together as a group also allows us to send loving light energy into the ocean and space all around us. With our intentions, we also direct loving light energy to Mother Earth, the Animals and our Family of Humanity.

Mindfulness, Earthing, Grounding, Somatic Practices at Salt Creek ($9.99 min)

Salt Creek Beach Park

**MINDFULNESS HIKE IN THE FOREST:**
Step off the busy path and into the stillness of the forest. This guided Mindfulness Hike combines gentle stretches, breathwork, grounding practices and Qi Gong flows and moving meditations to help you slow down, awaken your senses, restore inner calm and balance. We will also attune to the healing energy of Mother Earth, Father Sun, the Trees and Animals.

**WHAT TO EXPECT:**
We will start at the Day Use Parking Lot near the restrooms. We will begin with a short warmup before embarking on our journey. We will stop at various places along the trail to enjoy Spiritual and Mindfulness movements, practices and moving meditations. We will be going up the "Twisted Tire" trail and ending by my campsite to set an intention for the New Moon. For those who have not received a wish fulfillment card from my Bodhisattva yet and would like one, we will incorporate these wish cards during our intention setting ritual.

The entire hike is just just under 3 miles. There are a couple of steeper hills and uneven terrain, so hiking shoes/boots with non-slip traction soles are recommended as well as hiking poles for those needing extra support. This is not a fast-paced hike rather it is a mindful flowing hike that allows time to stop for natural curiosities, animal sightings and earthing-grounding-mindfulness practices. It is a time to tune into your senses, listen to the bird songs, smell the native plants, feel the earth, breath with the trees and observe natures abundance. We don’t measure the experience by the clock — in fact, we prefer to lose track of time entirely. It's a time to unplug, recharge, immerse yourself in the present moment, connect intimately with Creator, Mother Earth, Father Sun, the Nature and Animal Kingdom and savor the full richness of this mind, body, and soul adventure.

This is more than a hike - it's a chance to reconnect with the earth, new moon cycle and your own inner rhythm. The mindfulness practices help to calm the mind and body, regulate the nervous system, and strengthen the physical-mental-emotional-spiritual bodies so you leave feeling uplifted, joyful, recharged and clear on your new intention.

**WHERE TO MEET:**
Meet in the big parking lot at Oak Grove Day Use by the Visitor's Center and large restroom (#1) building. After going through the entrance gate, turn right and then turn left into large parking lot.

**TIMELINE:**

* **5:00pm -** Arrive at the Oak Grove Day Use parking lot by the large restroom (#1) building and locate our group.
* **5:10pm -** Introductions
* **5:15pm** \- Begin with a short warm\, and start mindfulness hike
* **7:00pm** \- Approximate time we arrive at the campsite to set new intentions by the firepit
* **7:20pm -** Meetup concludes - walk back to cars in day use parking.
* **7:28pm -** Sunset time and time to depart day use parking lot.

**HIKE STATS:** Total length: 2.70 miles. Elevation gain: 267 feet. This is an easy hike, but it has some steep hills and uneven terrain.

**WHAT TO BRING**: Long hiking pants or long leggings, so legs are fully covered due to Poison Oak and insects. Sturdy, close-toe trail hiking shoes/boots with non-slip traction soles and hiking poles for those needing extra support. Water and layered clothing. Dress mindfully so you feel comfortable and safe in this wilderness park.

**ENTRANCE FEE / PARKING:** Entrance fee is approximately $3 - $5 per car or OC Parks annual pass.

**RESTROOMS AVAILABLE**: Restrooms are available at various locations throughout the park.

**PLEASE NOTE:** We start promptly at 5:15pm. If you are late, please catch up with us by walking towards the "Twisted Tire" trail.

**NATURE TRAIL PRECAUTIONS:** We need to be aware of mountain lions, rattlesnakes, poison oak, prickly plants such as cactus, ticks, flying insects, loose rocks, rugged terrain, and natural hazards along the trail. Long hiking pants or long leggings are recommended. Closed toed hiking shoes/boots with non-slip traction soles are mandatory, and hiking poles are recommended for those needing extra support.
