Winter Wellness Mindfulness & Hiking for Women Nature Therapy Group
If life has handed you some challenges recently and you know winter is a time you tend to feel isolated, stagnant, depleted, scattered, and stressed, this is your chance to have a different experience. Joining the Winter Wellness for Women Group will help you cope with life's stressors, and help you feel connected, empowered, and nourished. You will experience movement, lightness, inner peace, a sense of grounding and greater connection to your wisest self, helping you be more confident in your decision-making, and gaining the skills to match your behaviors with your values.
If you've been experiencing
-
Feeling isolated in a time of a transition in your life - whether that be an internal or external transition
-
Filled with uncertainty and self-doubt
-
Physically stagnant or disconnected from your physical body
-
Longing for meaningful connections and unsure where to go
The Winter Wellness Mindfulness & Hiking Group will take you from isolation, or surface level connections that don't necessarily feel supportive or fulfilling to meaningful, nourishing connections in an environment that reinforces your personal growth and gives you tools, strategies and experiences to support your progress as you work towards mental health and well-being this winter.
Despite obstacles such as social anxiety, pushing beyond their comfort zones, or having kids at home that need care, participants have reported that getting themselves out for a heaping dose of leaving busy-ness and human DOING for a chance at human BEING "is worth it every time". Even their family members notice how much lighter, more grounded, and positive they are when they return home from each of the hikes.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta
Take a mindful forest walk led by a therapist, and fill your heart with nature & meaningful connection
Connect with
meaningful people
If you're an introvert, have social anxiety, or simply seek deeper connections than usual, join a guided forest walk.
It's connection and heart work powered by nature, mindfulness, and guided conversations with like-hearted people.
Be supported and support others
The only thing more re-affirming than being helped by someone who cares about you it is helping someone you care about.
It's always amazing to see how, even though everyone's story is different, they overlap in profoundly revealing ways.
Re-connect with nature's healing
Mindfulness and nature are two sides of the same coin.
Our breath and body work is focused on finding your center, and allowing nature to anchor and re-charge you to live your best life.
Find people who share the same commitments and pursuits as you.
You'll make each other stronger, and re-emerge with a renewed sense of commitment and confidence to your inner self.
Join our mindful Hiking Group in Maryland to renew, rediscover, and reconnect.
This Forest Walk group is a good fit for you if
You are currently or were recently in individual therapy and are aware that you've picked up some unwanted patterns of thinking from your parents. You are realizing that adulthood or parenthood comes with challenges - dating & relationships, levels of consumption, your relationship with money, your self-esteem and socializing, body image, your relationship with food.
All these areas of your life are things you are beginning to explore, notice what you've learned from your parents and what is and is not working for you. You've likely begun the path of shifting some things and making new decisions for yourself that are different then how you were brought up, yet you still find yourself at times running into old ways of doing things.
You also are realizing with added self-awareness that you don't have many authentic, close connections, particularly in Baltimore, and with the added challenge of the pandemic, you are finding it difficult to find ways of creating new connections with people who also want to be healthy and intentional with the way they are living.
Yes! The nature therapy hikes with Nathalie are a great mental health tool and resource. It is nice that the hikes are split into different mindfulness "activities" throughout. It is also great that the hikes are in different locations.
These hikes re-aquainted me with the mindful part of myself I had been missing for years. I commuted an hour to make it each hike and it was worth it every time.
I would absolutely recommend any hiking or outdoor group with Nathalie - she is grounded, realistic, relatable and passionate about the work that she is doing. I found that the space that she was able to hold for myself and my fellow group members as invaluable. I will definitely be joining her groups in the future!!
"Worth it every time"
Important things to know
1.) Welcoming - This group is meant to be a safe, non-judgemental space for anyone who identifies as a woman.
2.) Mindfulness - It is not a group for people wanting an exercise group. The movement involved is loving movement, meant to be incorporated in mindfulness practices. We will walk/hike for anywhere from 30-45 minutes. If you have any sort of physical or health concerns, please let the facilitator know prior to registering. We try to accomodate everyone's physical needs and take into account any issues when planning the group experience.
3.) Weather - as long as it's not raining so hard that we can't hear each other, the facilitator will send an email out a few days prior to the planned group time, giving an update about weather and location, any planning that needs to happen accordingly. Groups may be cancelled day of, in this case, and a rain date will be planned.
