SPRING into Mindfulness!! (O’Hill Mindfulness Walk 3.0)

OVERVIEW

Feeling overwhelmed with schoolwork? Instead, try feeling overwhelmed by the infinite beauty and complexity of the natural world!! Join me on the 3rd installment of my O’Hill walks, where we go at the slowest pace imaginable because we are taking in, discussing, and marveling at every detail of the woods around us. If you’ve ever been on a hike with a toddler, this is pretty similar; beginner’s mind. I haven’t been up to the O’Hill trails in a few weeks, so I am so excited to see what we might discover now that spring is in full swing.
The plan:
– Meet at the corner of Echols at 4pm
– Head up to O’Hill trails (5-10min walk)
– Explore/talk/revel!!
– Maybe do a sit-spot (simple mindfulness practice) while we’re up there
– Explore more on the way back
– Back to Echols by 5:30 sharp (or not sharp if everyone wants to frolic for longer)

To bring:
– Your brilliant self
– Water
– Patience
– Curiosity

I bring:
– The same things as above
– Some knowledge of the plants and animals of the area
– A couple field guides and/or the Seek app for organism IDs
