Easy Path 1: Getting Grounded Experience. 3.5 hours
Easy Path 1 is the first step of a journey into mindful, fulfilling and sustainable performance.
Spending an afternoon in nature, participants learn the fundamentals of mindfulness and it’s impact on goal attainment.

[av_tab title=’Why Nature? ‘ icon_select=’yes’ icon=’ue8b8′ font=’entypo-fontello’]
Why nature? Research shows that when we are in nature we immediately benefit! Benefits include stress reduction, a sense of coherence and belonging, improved self-confidence and self-discipline, and a broader sense of community.
Check out this June 2015 study conducted at Stanford that concludes walks in nature boost brain power and mood!
Combine the impact of nature with a facilitated exploration of the self and the result is typically a transformational experience, enabling participants to immediately move forward more effectively.

[av_tab title=’FAQ’s’ icon_select=’yes’ icon=’ue81d’ font=’entypo-fontello’]
What will we actually be doing? Our outdoor workshops can be hard to describe! Over the course of our time together we’ll be walking in silence, walking and discussing key program elements in pairs and/or groups, journalling and having break out and group discussions. While we do have a standard format, a key element of the program is being in the moment and thus we don’t provide a full program outline intentionally. Team programs for organizations are customized and we will partner with your leadership on the specific program components while we recommend the team participants have the same level of mystery we maintain for the public program.
What do I need to bring? You will receive these specifics at least 3 days prior to your event date. Typically all you need to bring is a small back or fanny pack to carry any personal belongings or favorite snacks as well as a refillable water bottle. We provide snacks and water, journals, pens and any other necessary supplies.
What should I wear? You will receive these specifics at least 3 days prior to your event date which will include a weather update. This tends to be venue specific. Typically we recommend comfortable hiking clothes in layers and hiking shoes or good sneakers.
Do I need to be in good physical shape? We intentionally seek out venues and routes that are rated “easy” and with elevation gains within 500 feet and less than 1 mile per hour distance on average. An average level of physical fitness is recommended to allow you to get the most out of the experience. Each event page lists the total mileage and elevation for that specific event.
