One of my happy places is guiding in-person Nature and Forest Therapy walks - that I like to call Mindful Meanders.  These in-person walks are short in distance, gentle in terrain, and big in experience!  I offer these in-person walks at least once a month in all kinds of outdoor spaces - primarily in Gatlinburg, Knoxville, Townsend, as well as surrounding parks and beyond. 

 

I am offering at least one free, public in-person walk per month and open to offering others by request!  Virtual walks can be experienced from wherever you are.

​

Here are the scheduled, upcoming, public in-person walks:​

• Saturday, February 25, 2023 - Great Smoky Mountains National Park

• Saturday, March 25, 2023 - Seven Islands Birding Park, Kodak, TN

• Saturday, April 22, 2023 - Ijams Nature Center, Knoxville, TN

For those who may not have a local guide or be comfortable/able to venture out, I also offer virtual experiences that utilize photos, videos and guided meditation and imagery to offer a nature-focused breath.  I will begin these virtual offerings in the spring and will provide them once a month on a Sunday at 10 am ET.  If you would like to be added to the email distribution list to receive reminders and the zoom link information, please email me.
