Reconnect. Reflect. Wander.

The Reflect & Wander Summer Series is back as part of our Women’s Mindful Hike Series, offering an outdoor experience designed to nurture your mind, body, and spirit. This two-part series combines guided hiking, mindfulness practices, reflective activities, and opportunities to connect meaningfully with other women.

Each 3-hour session blends movement and stillness, helping you slow down, tune in to yourself, and immerse in the natural beauty of Hacklebarney State Park. Through intentional walking, guided reflection, and mindful pauses, you’ll cultivate grounding, self-awareness, and connection within a supportive community.
