Nature and Self-Healing with Rodger
These free classes are titled Nature and Self-Healing Beginning or Intermediate. We hike a different trail each week Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9am - 11:40am. We hike for an hour then sit for 15 min discussion of self-healing topics like, journaling, forgiveness, gratitude or love then sit silently for 10 min then begin our return hike with 10 min of mindful hiking. We also meet new friends, have fun and laugh a lot. The Beginning class offers easier trails vs the Intermediate which are more difficult. The hike schedule will be emailed to those who are registered the weekend before the class begins. The Schedule is subject to change due to trail and road closures. Students should be able to hike 2 - 3 miles at a steady pace for the Beginning class and 2-3 miles at a steady pace uphill for the Intermediate class.
