Autumn Mindful Hike
Meeting at Crefeld Street Trailhead (Crefeld Street & Lavender Trail)
Please join Marv Schwartz, Patty Davis, and Anne Silvers Lee for a slower paced Mindfulness hike where we will stop to look at plants, rocks, the creek, mushrooms, moss, and trees. During the walk, we will try some optional mindful practices like meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, creative visualization and guided imagery. The walk will begin at the Lavender Trail on Crefield Street in Chestnut Hill. We will hike about 2 1/2-3 miles mostly on the Orange and Lavender trails with a short portion on Forbidden Drive. We will have a bathroom break at Bells Mill Rd and Forbidden drive.
Sadly we cannot have dogs on this hike other than service dogs. Please bring water and wear appropriate footwear since will be on some rocky and hill portions of the trail.
