Come join me for a walk created for those who are closing out the year with full hearts, heavy hearts, or uncertain hearts. As we approach the end of the year, we will gather in the forest to reflect on the shedding what the Year of the Snake has brought. Snakes grow through release, through letting go of what constricts, what no longer fits, what the body and spirit can no longer carry. This year may have asked you to shed more than you expected. On this walk, we will explore loss in all its forms: — losing the expectations you once held — losing insecurities you outgrew — grieving someone you loved — grieving versions of yourself you no longer are — sitting with the lessons, the losses, the mistakes — discovering the unexpected renewal that can only come through loss This walk is an invitation to slow down and gently honour the truth of this year. To acknowledge grief without trying to rush past it. To notice the space that loss has opened. To feel where new hope is beginning to rise, quietly, beneath the surface. We will move through the forest slowly, letting the landscape guide us. We will sit with what has been heavy. We will honour what has fallen away. And together, we will step toward the new year with tenderness, clarity, and the sense that we are ready for the next level of ourselves. This is not a hike. It is a reflective, supportive forest therapy walk. Adults only. Please dress warmly and bring a blanket if you like. There will be tea served. There is no car access to High Park on the weekends, there is parking on Bloor St and surrounding area. Be mindful of signage. We will meet in front of the Grenadier Cafe inside the park. Washrooms accessible at the Cafe. 📍 200 Parkside Dr We will begin at 2:30 PM promptly and finish by around 4:00 PM, ensuring full daylight and safe departure before dusk. If you feel called to close out the year by honouring what was lost and opening to what is next, I welcome you to join me. 💫💫💫 Note: I am a Certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. I am not a clinical therapist. By participating in this walk, you acknowledge that you are doing so at your own risk. Toronto Hiking Moms and its organizers assume no responsibility or liability for any injuries, losses, or incidents that may occur during this experience.
