Intentional time spent outdoors has been proven to reduce blood pressure, lower cortisol levels, improve concentration and memory, and more. Join us for a 2-hour outdoor experience rooted in mindfulness. You can expect light movement to prepare the body, a mindful walk between one and three miles, and nature meditation. Each outing, we will explore one of the five senses as we walk through Schenley Park.<\/p>\n
October 6 – You will be invited to \u201chike with hands,\u201d or feel<\/i> the different textures of tree bark, moss, and more. This will be a sunset hike.<\/p>\n
November 5 – Using our sense of smell, we will imagine how things might taste<\/i>. We will also share a tea ceremony to close out the series.<\/p>\n
This mindful outdoor experience is suitable for all levels of experience and ability. Please wear comfortable walking shoes; bring clothing layers and a water bottle.<\/p>\n
Your guide will be Alicia<\/span>\u00a0Broudy, who has been practicing and teaching yoga for 12 years. She is\u00a0certified as a Mindful Outdoor Guide through Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.<\/p>\n Starting Location: Outside the Schenley Park Visitors Center (101 Panther Hollow Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15213)<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"mindful-hiking-series-an-exploration-of-the-senses-4","image":{"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994.jpg","id":31615,"extension":"jpg","width":1920,"height":1080,"filesize":946378,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":169,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":46971,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994-300x169.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":576,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":284456,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994-1024x576.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":32484,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":432,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":173147,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994-768x432.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":864,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":563763,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994-1536x864.jpg"},"woocommerce_thumbnail":{"width":300,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":63331,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994.jpg"},"woocommerce_single":{"width":600,"height":338,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":117375,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994.jpg"},"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":{"width":100,"height":100,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":26791,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994-100x100.jpg"},"wpex_356x200":{"width":356,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","wpex_dynamic":true,"url":"https:\/\/ventureoutdoors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/32595110062_b099ed544d_o-1-e1685038647994-356x200.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2023-10-06
