Walk and Learn Wednesdays!

These mini-workshops are designed to get you moving towards wellness - literally! Join me at a local walking trail and enjoy an hour and a half of fresh air, activity, companionship and knowledge-sharing about a different topic each week - all focusing on wellness, healthy living and staying active!

Kids are welcome (strollers or carriers are recommended for little legs), but please no bicycles. I also kindly request that you please leave pets at home. I cannot guarantee that trails will be animal friendly.

What to bring

Please prepare for the weather. The following items will help make your walk more comfortable:

Temperature-appropriate clothing (layers are always helpful)
Sun screen
Bug spray (it is May, after-all!)
Hat
Water
Supportive walking shoes
A snack (dried fruit and almonds are my favorites!)

You may also want to bring a notebook and pen. Most walks will have benches and / or picnic tables along the way.

Our walks will be slow-to-moderately paced. We will have plenty of opportunities to regroup and discuss our topic of the day. This program is not designed to be a "workout". Rather, this is an opportunity to invest time and energy into wellness, meet fantastic new people, and connect with your love of physical movement, nature, and self-awareness.
