Nature Mindfulness: Uncovering Your Natural Awareness 6/17/2023

This event is no longer on sale.

Saturday June 17

9:30 AM  –  11:00 AM

Preregistration required for this program designed specifically for adults. However, interested youth ages 13 and up are welcome to attend with an adult.

Reclaim your attention and begin to uncover your natural awareness. Spending time in nature and mindfulness practice have similar and wonderful benefits. Stress levels go down, and calm and concentration go up—just to name a few. This class offers the opportunity to experience the powerful combination of the two. Join us to learn a simple mindfulness technique that will help you enjoy any moment more fully. 

About the guide:Leslie Hanna is a certified mindfulness meditation trainer and coach from Unified Mindfulness. She has practiced yoga and meditation for over 20 years.  

What to expect:Mindfulness training elevates our ability to focus so that we are able to “be here now” and aware of the present moment. We are likely to be sitting or standing for periods of time as well as walking. The walk will take place entirely outdoors on level trails and will be approximately 1/2 mile (no more than 1 mile) at a slow pace. Beginners and experienced meditators alike are welcome.  

How to dress: We will be seated or out on the trails and moving slowly. Please dress in layers to ensure proper warmth and comfort. This program runs rain or shine.  

What to bring: Consider bringing your own lightweight folding camp chair/stool or a sit-upon (jacket, towel, etc.) .

Where to park and meet: Program registrants will meet at Abner Hollow Cabin (near the Nature PlayScape and PlayScape bathrooms) at our Rowe Woods location. After passing the gatehouse, turn right onto Groesbeck Drive. Please park along Groesbeck Drive with the cabin in sight. Head over a little bridge on the walking trail and continue the path towards the cabin.
