Description

This Labor Day, step into a morning of gentle discovery and deep calm in the forest of Potomac Overlook Regional Park. This extended guided nature therapy walk invites you to slow down, open your senses, and find moments of quiet awe along peaceful wooded trails. With the warm guidance of certified nature and forest therapy guide Ilana Rubin of Kindred Nature, you’ll connect mindfully with the textures, sounds, and rhythms of the woods, inviting a fresh sense of wonder to unfold naturally.We’ll pause often to notice, reflect, and simply be — letting the restorative power of nature soothe your mind, body, and heart. We’ll close our time together with light snacks and fresh, local tea beneath the trees, sharing connection and renewal.No prior experience is needed — just bring your curiosity, openness to wonder, and a willingness to be present. This is a slow and sensory-based wander, not a strenuous long hike or fitness activity.Important participant guidelines:• $40 per participant for ages 18 and up. • Arrive by 9:15am to allow time to walk from the parking lot to our meeting spot at the Nature Center.• Dress comfortably for the weather to be outside throughout the program.
