We need nature connection. Now, more than ever.
Join a Forest Therapy Walk on your own or with others. You'll find a welcoming space in the circle and a comfortable, "no pressure" approach.
We move slowly and pause often and you don't have to be super fit. Some walks are on accessible trails. We walk in "near nature", mostly within Ottawa -- or we get together on-line. Pre-registration is required. Once you register, you'll receive directions and info on what to bring, how to dress, etc. but feel free to contact me with any questions. A full refund is available with at least 24 hours notice.

Join from the safety and comfort of your yard, balcony, nearby green space or indoors. We'll connect through Zoom. I'll be on a trail near me, and you choose your spot. Bring your phone and earbuds. You'll keep one earbud in to listen to me, and leave the other out so you can tune into the place where you are. Staying inside and using a computer? Sit near a window, with a houseplant nearby, or stones, shells or other treasures from nature.
1. Register via Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link and full details. Participation is capped at 16 people and pre-registration is required for each person. 2. Free for Frontline/Healthcare workers. Regular tickets are $20 (Eventbrite fee included). You're also invited to "pay-it-forward" by adding a donation, to make more free spots available. 3. Download the Zoom app on your phone: https://zoom.us/. Or dial in without the app. 4. Choose your spot outdoors or indoors and arrive before the walk begins. |
