Mindfulness Walk & Talk
In response to all the positive feedback we have received about the Mindfulness Walking Series, in collaboration with the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation, Valley Forge Park Alliance and REI, we are thrilled to announce the mindfulness walks will now be offered year round! This new format provides an ongoing opportunity every month to connect with nature and therapists. Topics such as deep breath control, body scans, finding stillness and more will be explored!
The group meets every FIRST Wednesday of the month, 10-11am, rain or shine, at the Van Steuben parking lot, Grande Parade at Valley Forge National Park. Only in extreme weather will our walks get cancelled
The walks are brisk, on a 3-mile mowed path - participants should be comfortable with this pace on uneven surfaces. No need to pre-register, just show up! Plus, every participant is eligible for one free session with a licensed therapist. Feel free to bring a friend, our walks are open to everybody!
