Imagine a world where families boycott the Black Friday craze & stay present with one another. Notifications get turned off, phones & other devices are tucked away & the TV becomes covered with a tablecloth as a reminder to press pause. The family spends the day getting lost in page turning books or excited over putting together a big puzzle. Instead of getting frazzled by the flocks of people shopping for deals for things the family likely doesn't need, everyone plays a board game, hide n’ seek (no one is too old to play hide n' seek...) or cooks together. Maybe you decorate the house, go outside to hang lights, hike, do yard work or make art! Maybe you do it all. But without a device telling you to purchase something. You experience the day together as one and remain present.
Just writing it feels like a big deep breath. In between & amongst those experiences are smiles, big and small feelings, sensory awareness, problem solving, exercise, hard work, benefits of nature, creativity & more. Days like these are memories for families to cherish forever. Do we need to dare you? Okay... we dare you to have a day like this with the fam, even if they groan, and not post about it. Just live it! See what happens. How does everyone feel afterwards? Seems like a fun thing to plan over a yummy thanksgiving meal after an outpouring of family love and a gratitude blessing. This season, amidst all of the materialism madness & overloading ads - Hike & Heal Wellness will be chillin' in the corner by our mascot Grandmother Oak grinning, waiting to listen & ready to provide comfort when you need us. We are here if you’d like to give something different this year. Instead of worrying if you purchased the right "thing," give a family member a weekend to focus on themselves for once. Give your mom or daughter a bonding experience where health, new experiences & growing your relationship is at the forefront. Give a friend a day to develop something they are truly interested in - their intuition. Give your family of teens & tweens an overnight camping experience around Earth Day to celebrate your love for nature & each other. Give an adult in your life a weekend to de-stress, recalibrate, ramp up the healing and bury the anxiety in the great outdoors. Give experiences. It can be affordable and life changing. The 2020 program schedule is up & running. Registration is open for everything but summer camp (it opens the start of our fiscal year- Jan 1), prices are at their lowest between now & Dec 31 so really, there’s no pressure. We are just here if you need us. We’d love to practice self-care with you, connect deeply with our outer landscape & continue to build a mindful community of great humans with you as a part of our family. Breathe deeply, grow together. Yours Truly, Team Hike and Heal A year from now, you will wish you had started today. -Karen Lamb Spring into Nature Retreat

Caregiver-Child Nature Play Series
$25.00
Only a few left!
A six-class series over 3 weeks for you and your little one(s) to explore, climb, imagine, sing, play & connect with other families outside in natural spaces. Think respite from having to plan fun activities to engage your kids. Think developmentally appropriate sensory-based play that is led by the interest of the kids. This can be self-care for you! Gathering in community is healing in itself, and reminds us that we are not met to do this on our own. It takes a village, and when we see other parents going through it - we feel more human and normal. :)
Get ready to pack a picnic snack lunch, sun protection & be ready to be around mosquitos sometimes. It builds resilience and being in the summer woods as a group also helps normalize it! We'll play with water, bugs, plants, sand, mud and more. Plan to dress kids (and you!) in clothes that can get dirty and/or wet, as well as something cozy to throw on for the ride home. Hike, Heal & Hum Summer Series

Bring your families (and snacks!) out for a morning of youth-led nature adventures. We'll meet at different parks in the area and try new ways to connect to the more than human world as a group. We'll play games, learn about the natural world, share gratitude and tell stories. Sometimes we'll have fires, sometimes we'll build, sometimes we'll climb. Sometimes I'll bring along nature educators to lead us in something special!

AuthorHi, Moira here. When I'm not playing with my dogs, listening to music, enjoying nature or being with my friends/family, I'm probably writing. Read these blogs for wellness opportunities we offer at Hike & Heal, ones I know that are awesome or just some tidbits about living a healthier life. Archives
