Mindfulness Walk by the Ocean

Experience a deeper connection with nature and be guided on a sensory journey with the land we walk upon. You are invited to feel the health benefits of being in nature while deepening our relationships with the earth, ocean and ourselves.

Walking distance is max 2km over a 2 hour period - no fitness is needed this is a gentle slow down experience paced by the individual. We do spend periods of time sitting/laying down/standing and walking slowly. You may wish to bring a small portable chair if standing or sitting on the ground is not practical or comfortable.

We include light refreshments and tea at the conclusion of our session (please let us know any dietary needs you may have).

Our leaders are certified Nature Therapy Guides and practitioners in outdoor health.

We respectfully acknowledge that our adventure is on Kaurna Land traditionally owned by the Kaurna People.
