Mindfulness Hike - Moulton Meadows, Laguna Beach ($9.99 minimum)

ABOUT THE MINDFULNESS HIKE: Reconnect with Nature. Reconnect with your Divine Self. Step off the busy path and into the stillness of nature. 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, elevate your energy, restore inner calm and balance.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
We start with some Qi Gong stretches and moves to warm up the body. Then, we journey on this beautiful Laguna Beach hilltop trail that has expansive ocean views every step of the way. We will enjoy a variety of mindfulness practices along the way that include breathing, stretching, Qi Gong flows and moving meditations to help us harmonize the mind-body-soul, uplift the energy-frequency-vibration, calm and regulate the nervous system, before heading back.

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 in the ocean air 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.

HIKE STATS: This is an intermediate hike on a dirt trail with rocks, brush, some steep hills and ruts. Total length: 2.5 miles. Elevation gain: 315 ft. There is no shade on this trail, so a hat is mandatory. Hiking shoes or boots are highly recommended on this uneven terrain. Long pants or workout leggings are highly recommended as well.

WHERE TO MEET:
Drive to Moulton Meadows Park: Address is Balboa Ave and Capistrano Ave in Laguna Beach 92651. It is located at the very top of the Laguna Beach hills. There is free parking on the street of Balboa Avenue. We will meet near the stop sign and restrooms, on the corner of Balboa Avenue and Cortez Avenue. View the photos for a visual if you are not familiar with this spot.

• 8:25am – Introductions.
• 8:30am - Begin our mindfulness hike.
• 10:30am - Meetup will conclude at approximately this time. However, we don't keep track of time because we journey outside of time to enjoy the mind, body, soul adventure. We end when we end.
