We are going on a walk together! Invite your friends and family to come enjoy nature with us.

Meet at the Urban Ecology Center at Hardberger Park (NW Military entrance).

We will walk to and across the Land Bridge and back. It is about 1.5 miles. Then, we invite you to stay for an optional time of reflection and discussion.

Did you meet some new friends? Go to lunch together!

In case of rain, we will postpone to Saturday, May 2.

This is a walk, not a run. You are invited to slow down and pay attention as you walk.

As you walk, notice:

  • the smell of the air

  • trees and plants

  • animals and insects (large and small)

  • colors and light

  • textures (ground, bark, leaves)

  • your own physical sensations and emotions

You are invited to NOTICE, LISTEN, & RECEIVE.

  • What was your experience like?

  • How did this walk affect how you feel physically or emotionally?

  • What captured your attention along the way?

  • Did you notice anything you don’t usually notice on a walk?

  • Scripture tells us that “the heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19). Did creation speak to you in any way today?
