Join me Saturday July 12th, 9-12:30 to explore the intersection of 3 practices: walking outdoors, mindfulness, and creativity. Focusing on the 5 senses, this walk will include periods of walking and close observation interspersed with brief 15 minute writing and/or drawing exercises (using provided prompts or following your own muse).
Hosted by The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen, we’ll walk at the gorgeous Shamokin Springs Nature Preserve (but gather first at the WNF building), which is lush with plant and fungal life now and is an oasis of cooler temperatures on these hot days.
Bring something to sit on in case it’s damp (folded jacket is fine, or a small cushion), water bottle, light snack if you want, notebook, pen, colored pencils or any art materials you prefer. Some colored pencils will be available to be borrowed.
This activity is best for teens and adults who can walk in mindful silence (2 of the 4 walking sections will be in silence).
No writing, art, or meditation experience needed. For more information and to register, go to the Nature Foundation website.
