Cancelled: Mindfulness and Nature Journaling

January 11 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Regretfully, even though the sun is now out, the prediction is for a very cold night that only warms to about freezing by 10am (and will feel like about 27). It also will be pretty wet from recent precipitation, so we made the decision to cancel. Please join us on the next one! (Here is how we originally described this event:) You’re invited to join us in the unhurried pace and present-moment awareness of mindfulness on a walk in the preserve. If you’re new to it, we will talk about how to practice mindfulness. The walk is designed for adults and older children (older than 10). While discussing and practicing mindfulness, we will walk to a couple of locations within the preserve.
We can then take a little time to reflect on what is around us and within us, writing or drawing in a nature journal. Doing this helps us organize our thoughts, adds to our self-understanding, and may benefit our mental wellness in other ways. Bring a notebook and pen and/or pencil!
Please check the weather and our Facebook page (or website) the night before – we try not to cancel but the weather can be unpredictable in January.
The walk leader is Michael Smith, author of Mindfulness in Texas Nature, naturalist, and retired mental health professional. (This event is for nature appreciation and wellness and is not therapy)
