Join us for a Gratitude walk/hike to Wilcox Lake in Richmond Hill. The theme for this week's hike is: GRATITUDE. We will have some moments of reflecting and sharing (only if you are comfortable). There will also be YOGA for beginners to warmup and cool down. I will guide you through a beginner-friendly yoga sequence before the hike and again at the end of the hike. So if you normally leave hikes feeling stiff and sore, this session will be a treat for your joints and stiff muscles. Come meet new friends while doing a fun and social hike! This hike is rated easy and a relaxed pace. Perfect for those looking to socialize while getting in some exercise and suitable for beginners. So, for those who are looking for short and easy hikes, you better come out for this one! Only 6km with the option of extending. 😀 MINDFULNESS MEDITATION & FOREST BATHING: During the hike, we will practise mindful meditation and mindful forest bathing (still, quiet time in the forest).
