GUIDED IN IN-PERSON WALKS
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

To sign up for one of these walks, request a walk on a different date, or explore a partnership or other offering, complete the form by clicking the 'In-Person Walk Sign Up Form' button below. You are welcome to submit this form as many times as you like throughout the year. You can also reach out to me at mindfulmeanders@gmail.com or 865-36-5371 if you have any questions or would prefer to sign up that way. I am more than happy to add walks and additional events by request! Locations listed are tentative and the specifics will be shared with those that sign up or express interest for each walks.
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.
