Nature Rx: Mindfulness Walk

活动介绍

Join the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park for a mindful nature walk at Oxbow Meadows with Jessica Kanya! This gentle walk through the meadow and to the Cuyahoga River will invite you to move mindfully and focus on the sounds around you. How may you listen joyfully without judgement? What is a mindfulness walk? While we may be tempted to get our steps in or consider every walk a workout, a mindfulness walk invites you to slow your pace and employ your senses to take in the natural world around you. Mindfulness walks can take on many forms, sometimes silent or practicing breathwork. Other times, isolating one sense at a time. In these moments, you are encouraged to let go of the stresses of the day and simply enjoy the natural environment. Accessibility note: This program takes place on primitive, mowed paths with slight elevation change. Participants are welcome to bring trekking poles or a hiking staff for added support. As noted above, mindfulness walks are intentionally slow-paced with frequent stops for discussion. It is a great option for those looking for a more accessible outdoor experience at CVNP. This event is part of the Nature Rx program.
