## Burkes Lookout Hike and Meditation
### Dandenong Ranges - Aroha
Are you an adventurer or explorer who keeps missing out on great hikes because you don’t have a car?
We’ve solved that problem.
Hi, my name is Pranav, and I am a techie. Along with my team, we are bringing you small hiking and meditation sessions. Our adventures come with a built-in Carpool Hub, where hikers can easily connect with drivers and passengers heading to the same trail. No car? No problem - just grab a seat and join the adventure.
This experience is more than just a hike. Along the trail we’ll pause for a short guided meditation in nature, giving everyone a chance to slow down, breathe, and fully enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the Dandenong Ranges.
Whether you’re coming solo or with friends, this event is all about nature, connection, mindfulness, and community.
