Guided Wellness Walks

Prevent the daily build-up of toxic stress and foster meaningful and soul-filling connections with your community and Mother Earth.

Join us for GUIDED WELLNESS WALKS - a series of eight  MBSR-inspired hikes through the breathtaking Open Space Preserves of Silicon Valley. These walks blend the proven techniques of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with the natural beauty of the region to promote mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical relaxation. As you traverse gentle trails and serene landscapes, you'll learn to cultivate mindfulness in motion, deepening your connection with the environment and yourself. ADULTS ONLY. Discounts are available if financial hardship is a barrier for anyone.
