Summer Solstice Meditation Walk

Welcome the first days of summer with a leisurely walk to witness the intricate changes in the seasons. Witness the swelling buds, bird songs, smell of the air, animals emerging, and other signs that spring has arrived. It is called the equinox because it’s one of two days in the year when daylight and darkness agree to share equally the 24 hours in a day. Celebrate this equinox as we walk through the trails of Whittemore - Community, Culture & Conservation with our guide Carl Klemme.

This 90 minute walking and meditation experience will cover a number of miles throughout the Whittemore trails with meditations interspersed throughout the hike. A number of different meditation techniques will be taught, practiced at various locations along the way, including fields, forest and stream side. Practicing meditation in nature is an effective way to both quite and clear the mind and also experience the environment in a deep and connective way. 

No prior experience is necessary for this program, for ALL Age levels.

Please dress appropriately (for the weather - layers are the best) and wear the proper hiking shoes - the trails can be very muddy if it has rained/snowed.
