What are Wild Walks?

Wild Walks are mindfulness-based forest bathing sessions intended to help establish or deepen your connection to the natural world. Sessions last 2-2.5 hours and cover no more than 1 mile (often less) in distance at a slow to moderate pace.  Trails are generally easy to moderate and require limited exertion.

Experience the benefits of the forest

Over the past 40 years, studies from around the world have shown that time spent in nature brings real benefits to our health and well-being, including:

  • Reduced levels of stress
  • Improved heart rate and blood pressure
  • Better sleep, mood, and mental focus
  • Boosted immune system

Be in community with the wildness

During a forest bathing session, you will be offered several invitations designed to open your senses and engage with nature. These sessions are not goal-oriented hikes or naturalist walks, but opportunities to slow down, reconnect to the natural world, and find yourself relaxed and restored.  

Wild Walks are for everyone

Pay What You Can

We believe that connection to nature should not be limited only to those who have disposable income. We operate public group walks on a pay what you can model. The suggested donation for a walk is $10-15 per person, but any amount is appreciated. Any donations received are put toward funding additional walks.

Land Acknowledgement

The land upon which we hold our wild walks is part of the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” The Lenape People lived in harmony with one another upon this territory for thousands of years. During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed west and north, but some also remain among the continuing historical tribal communities of the region: The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation; the Ramapough Lenape Nation; and the Powhatan Renape Nation, The Nanticoke of Millsboro Delaware, and the Lenape of Cheswold Delaware. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory. In our acknowledgment of the continued presence of Lenape people in their homeland, we affirm the aspiration of the great Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land, “as long as the rivers and creeks flow, and the sun, moon, and stars shine."
