Join us and experience nature’s power to soothe, refresh, and open your heart.

This is neither a naturalist exploration nor a fitness trek; this walk is about soaking in the health benefits of spending relaxed time in nature. It’s also about tending and mending our relationships with nature, ourselves, and others. There are no requirements – just come as you are.

Ryerson Conservation Area Riverwoods Road
Riverwoods, IL, USA

We'll meet at the Brushwood parking lot before journeying onto the trail for a slow, soothing walk into the woods that will cover less than a mile. During the walk you'll be guided through a sequence of activities called "invitations", since there is no right way of doing them. These invitations are meant to help you to experience a deeper connection to the more-than-human world, to others and to yourself. There will be various times for sharing throughout, along with deep listening, as we journey on the trail. The walk will conclude with a tea ceremony and light snacks. You will be walking and sitting, so be sure to dress appropriately for the weather. Long pants are helpful as well as shoes good for uneven terrain. Please bring water and maybe some bug spray. Light sprinkles of rain won't stop us. But just incase - the Rain Date will be: Sunday, June 11th. At the conclusion of a walk, many people report feelings of deep relaxation and rejuvenation. If the forest calls to you, or even if you had never considered something like this, invite a friend and join us. You may sign up through the link below.
