Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and connect with nature and yourself on this mindful hike.

Be fully present with your surroundings, leave stress behind, and rediscover the calm within. As we set out on this journey, we'll be guided by fellow member Zeeshan who will facilitate mindfulness practices to help us tune into the sights, sounds, and sensations of the natural world, including:

‍Nature Observation: Pause and observe the intricate details of nature, from the smallest insects to the grandeur of ancient trees.

‍Silent Contemplation: At various points along the trail, enjoy moments of silence to reflect and connect with your inner self.

‍Sound Meditation: Tune in to the sounds of the forest, from birdsong to rustling leaves, and use these natural rhythms as anchors for your mindfulness practice.The first half of this hike will focus on personal reflection, while the second half will more closely resemble one of our typical hikes, giving us an opportunity to share our experience with others.

We'll be going to one of the most rarely visited parts of the Bruce Trail, giving you all the best aspects of a well maintained trail, without the hordes of people you find on other stretches. It's a relatively short hike but one with plenty of great scenery and varied terrain to keep things interesting.

‍

The 900km Bruce Trail is probably the most famous hiking trail in Southern Ontario. A lot of it is pretty similar so we tend to avoid it but Boyne Valley is worth the exception. There are very few people on trail, it’s a gorgeous route and super varied. We’ll walk through managed forests, wide open fields, across lookouts and in and out of a valley.

This is a pretty easy hike and only 9km so, as long as you have a basic level of fitness you’ll have no problem taking it on.
