Nature Mindfulness Walk

for Mental Health Week

For Older Adults

About the Program

This gentle outdoor program invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy some peaceful time in your community. We’ll take a guided mindfulness walk through nearby forest trails, using all our senses to notice the sights, sounds, and feelings around us.

The experience is flexible and can be done at your own pace - participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable. The session will include a mix of guided activities, quiet moments for personal reflection, and opportunities to connect with others. No special equipment or experience needed—just comfortable shoes and an openness to being outdoors.

Route Info: We will start at the Naturespace. The walking route we will follow is approximately 4.3km in length, with sections of gravel and/or uneven terrain. The route is considered easy and mostly flat with a few small hills. See a Google Map of the route here. 

This program is being offered at multiple locations and the activities will be the same. Please register for only one program.
