Grounded Forest Bathing Walks & Nature Immersion

On these walks, we will meet to walk a local trail in Eastern North Carolina together near the Crystal Coast. The trail may be through the woods, on the beach, an urban greenway, or across boardwalks through wetlands. Along the way Amanda will point out special features and guide you into connecting to your senses and expanding your awareness. You'll learn how to read messages from nature and how other cultures view and perceive different elements within the natural world. You'll learn tools and practices for connecting to the spirit of a place, to yourself, and ways to deepen your connection to the natural world.

Each month the walk will be at a different place. The pace will be slow. The experience is meant to be relaxing, allowing you to unwind and drop into stillness and a quiet place within...stepping out of the mental noise from the week/day. 

This is not a naturalist walk where you'll learn species of flora and fauna. This is also not a strenuous physical exercise you can check off for the day. This is a contemplative walk to connect inward and engage your senses.

On average expect 2-3 miles to be  covered in two hours. Along our stroll, you'll receive prompts for contemplation, reflection, and guidance in how to awaken your senses and expand your observation skills.

Bring water, sunscreen, wear layers and appropriate shoes for the terrain.

 
Due to parking constraints at some locations and to not overcrowd the trails, registration is required as space is limited. Registration can be through the contact form, email, or direct message on Instagram or Facebook. This way, if the event needs to be cancelled due to low sign-ups or inclement weather, especially in Hurricane Season, you can be notified.

Consider purchasing the Nature Paths: A Guided Workbook and Journal for Sacred Walking on Amazon to use during your walks. 

Amanda will also have some copies of her book available for purchase on-site. Cash/Venmo $10
