This is not a fitness session. This is not a race. This walk is designed to create space for slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and building safe community. At the start of the walk, you’ll have the option to select a simple intention word to carry with you throughout the afternoon. We’ll move at a gentle, inclusive pace through the gardens, pausing occasionally to notice elements of the natural environment — such as scent, sound and scenery — and reflect on how time in green spaces supports mental wellbeing. No one is left behind. You’re welcome to talk, walk quietly, or simply be present. ## Post-Walk Community Coffee (Optional) The event concludes with a coffee at The Observatory for those who wish to continue connecting. This is completely optional. ## Meeting Point We will meet outside The Visitor Centre of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. Please arrive by 2:50 pm for an 3:00 pm sharp start. ## Agenda * 2:50 pm - 3:00 pm ### Arrival & Welcome * 3:00 pm - 3:45 pm ### Gentle Guided Walk Short Nature Pause * 3:45 pm - 4:30 pm ### Optional Community Coffee The Observatory Cafe in front of the Visitor Centre. ## Know Before You Go 1\.
