Nature is Medicine: Spending time in nature (even the urban nature of a walk around the block) leads to lower stress, better mood, increased attention, reduced anxiety and depression and can increase empathy and cooperation, and increased connection to the Divine.

The goals for this hike are to:

• Give you an opportunity to experience the tools nature provides you to overcome any challenge 
• Provide an intentional way to walk as a self care practice
• Provide space for you to develop first steps in creating your a way forward in more balanced, healthy walk through life

This hike is also designed for you to:  

• Find a momentary reprieve from the noise of our world while being held in the safety of nature and a supportive community
• Put into practice communication techniques that support a cycle of giving and receiving as a reminder of the balanced reciprocity of the natural laws
• Practice flexing your intuition to solve your own problems and challenges with simple guidance
• Engage with your personal power and experience the agency you hold with your life 

KAPWA IS MEDICINE is offered freely. We invite all attendees to offer donations to Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) as a fundraiser to support kapatids in Palestine: https://www.mecaforpeace.org/donate/
Specific details will be emailed.
