Gratitude Hike: Ashley Reservoir

Join us for a peaceful and heart-centered Gratitude Walk around the serene Ashley Reservoir — a hidden gem surrounded by water, whispering pines, and stunning views of the hills, less than an hour from Hartford, CT.

We’ll begin our morning with a short grounding and gratitude circle, taking a few deep breaths together and setting intentions for the walk. Along the way, we’ll pause at scenic points to reflect, share mindful moments, and connect with nature’s quiet wisdom.

This walk is about slowing down, reconnecting, and remembering the beauty of the present moment — while enjoying good company and meaningful conversation.

Whether you’re looking to clear your mind, find peace in nature, or simply practice gratitude in community, this is your invitation to fill your cup.

What to bring:

Comfortable walking shoes

Water and a light snack

Journal (optional for reflections)

An open heart 🌸

Let’s walk with gratitude, breathe in peace, and leave a little lighter than we came.
