What to Expect

This tour is designed to create an opportunity for participants to connect more deeply with their own direct experience of nature and expand their understanding of the relationship between human wellbeing and intact ecologies.
The experience includes the following elements: 
  • The guide will speak to particular ecological, geological and hydrological stories as we move through the landscape. We will stop at multiple locations to hear these stories. 
  • There will be a series of mindfulness-based invitations between stops that intend to support participants to deepen into their own experience and relationship with the forest ecology.
