Vermont Mindful Walks Monthly Event Announcement

The next FREE community building, Mindful Walk will be Sunday, 10/23/22, 1230pm-2pm. All are welcome to attend and please feel free to pass this posting along to anyone you think might be interested. The more the merrier!

I'm very excited to be welcoming you to my home trail in East Wallingford. The exact address will be given upon RSVP.

The path we will be walking is well-worn and about 0.4 miles. There is a hill, but we will be taking our time so no worries! Sneakers would be fine footwear for this event, but if you'd like to do the optional stream crossing, you may want to wear waterproof boots just in case.

The plan for this event is:

1) Introduction to Place/Land Acknowledgment
2) Introduction to Mindfulness and Mindful Walking
3) Introduction to Mindful Breathing
4) Centering Exercise
5) Yoga-based Warm-ups
6) Sensory-based Invitations to Deepen your Connection with Nature
7) Mindful Walking on the Rainbow Trail
8) 15-Minute Silent Nature Meditation
9) Short Guided Fire Meditation (time permitting)
10) Community Share Circle- feel free to bring an Autumn song, poem or story to share
11) Tea Ceremony/Hot Apple Cider

Please RSVP with your phone number so I can contact you in case of a last-minute cancellation. We will go rain or shine, as long as the trail conditions are safe.

Donations are optional but appreciated and will be allocated as follows:

50% to the Atowi Project.
The Atowi Project is a community initiative to affirm Native relationships to the Land and it's inhabitants, raise indigenous voices and foster inclusion with understanding, in place.

50% to The Divided Sky Foundation
The Divided Sky Foundation is a non-profit recovery center in Ludlow dedicated to delivering quality care and compassionate treatment to those affected by alcoholism and addiction. This cause is dear to my heart because alcoholism and substance use disorder is a huge concern in our communities.
