Two hours, OUTDOORS, slowing down, immersing in the living world around us — this mini-retreat is designed to help us reset the nervous system and reconnect with our true nature, in nature. 

No two nature immersion retreats are exactly the same. The experience is shaped by the energy of the group, the elements, the season, and the friends and beings we meet on our journey.

WHAT TO EXPECT and how to prepare: to be clear, this is not a vigorous hiking activity; we will be moving at a slow, deliberate pace along trails in North Easton, MA. All are welcome. Dress appropriately for the outdoors, and be prepared for the weather (layers for temperature shifts, appropriate shoes for walking mindfully on the trails, gloves, hat, and consider wearing a bright orange item if you can). Meet-up details will be shared with registered participants for this event. 

About your guide: When creating outdoor forest immersion retreats, Andrea Evans (E-YRT 500, certified Mindful Outdoor Experience Guide) draws inspiration from Shinrin-yoku (Forest Bathing), the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership, and decades of personal practice and exploration in the more-than-human world. 

Andrea began her teaching journey in 2014 with 200 hours of training with Jacqui Bonwell and later added 300 hours of training with David Vendetti. Her diverse classes, workshops, and retreats are designed for self-discovery and exploration. Her teaching intention is to hold safe space for people to practice, free of expectation or judgement. Andrea has studied an array of modalities from Vinyasa to Meditation to Yoga Nidra, Reiki, functional movement, Five Element Yoga® and Yoga for Trauma, Emotional Health and Healing. When she is not on her mat, she can often be found meandering through the town forest.
