Hike Black Bear Wilderness Trail

Black Bear Wilderness Trailhead Address:
5298 Michigan Avenue, Sanford, FL 32771

Join us for a gentle, soul-nourishing hike along the scenic 7-mile loop trail at Black Bear Wilderness. As a group, we'll decide how far to explore—no pressure to complete the entire loop! This beautiful trail winds through diverse habitats, marshlands, and along the stunning St. Johns River, offering peaceful scenery and abundant opportunities to breathe deeply and unwind together.

Preparation
Please dress in loose, comfortable layers and bring:

• Comfortable hiking footwear (the terrain is uneven with exposed roots and slopes—proper boots highly recommended)
• Natural bug spray (we'll have some to share)
• Water/coconut water/electrolytes (bring plenty!)
• Snacks
• Hat (to keep branches/spiderwebs at bay)
• Walking sticks/poles if desired

A Guided Journey
Your host Sophia, a seasoned Reiki master, yoga teacher, and natural wellness coach, will lead us in setting mindful intentions, practicing deep breathing, and engaging in forest bathing and immersive nature therapy. Together, we'll create a supportive, uplifting space to connect deeply with nature and ourselves.

Benefits
Did you know spending just an hour in the forest offers healing benefits that can last nearly a week? Studies show that forest bathing can boost immune cell activity and support the expression of anti-cancer proteins, helping to reduce stress and promote overall wellness.

Come ready to breathe deeply, relax, and embrace the healing power of nature with a compassionate community. We can't wait to share this adventure with you!
