Description
Look closely at the forest floor.
The earth does not need much to flourish.
A little dirt; some sunlight and water and air.
Add a few chemicals for flavoring
And there it is, a very happy life.
We live in a culture where we are told that “stuff” holds the key to happiness. Yet deep inside, we know something different. On this evening’s walk, we will consider, or reconsider, what we really need (or don’t need) to have a fulfilling life. And we will turn to the natural world as our guide.
Come out to Klehm for a guided walk through the woods that focuses on breathing, using your senses, meditation, and reflection. All ages are welcome with the understanding that this walk will be a silent, reflective experience. Wear footwear suitable for trail walking in the woods, and dress appropriately for whatever the weather might bring. You are welcome to bring trekking poles if you wish.
Because this is an after hours program and the arboretum will be closed to the general public, please plan to arrive a few minutes early as the gates will close promptly at 6:30 PM. Group size will be limited, so register early to be sure to secure a spot!
In the event of severe weather or a winter storm, we will post cancellation information on the Klehm website, and participants will be notified by email.
