About this event
Slow down and join us for a fall nature walk at Walnut Woods State Park!
November’s theme is “healing,” inspired by Rachel Carson’s words: *“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”*
Time spent in nature supports both body and mind. Gather with us in the woods to soak up that healing energy as the seasons shift.
**When: Saturday, November 14, 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.**
**Where: Bird blind parking area, Walnut Woods State Park, 3155 Walnut Woods Dr, West Des Moines, IA 50265**
**Distance: About a mile, more or less, on park trails**
Along the way, we’ll have time for conversation, reflection, and quiet. We’ll identify and learn more about plants, trees, and birds. And we’ll connect more fully to one another and he ancient land in which we live, and explore the spiritual side of nature as a mindfulness practice.
