Reconnect to yourself and our forest neighbors with an afternoon of yoga and hiking. We’ll shift our focus between our inner and outer landscapes to deepen our presence and attune to nature as it manifests in our own bodies and the world around us.

The hiking will be mostly silent, at a moderate pace with some elevation gain, and will alternate with periods of a mixed-level, integrated yoga practice combining conscious breathing, mindful movement, and meditation. Beginners to yoga are welcome. Appropriate for adults and teens.

Bring water, dress in layers, and wear soft-soled shoes that allow your feet and ankles to move freely. Offered rain or shine. Thunder cancels.
