Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Silent Walking – A Beginner’s Guide to Connecting with Nature

Join Ranger Kevin as we learn how to make – or strengthen – our connection with nature through the practice of Silent Walking and Sit Spots. This is a beginner’s level class, so anyone who is interested in cultivating the skills needed to appreciate the natural world in greater depth is welcome. We will learn to relax, change our mindset, and allow our senses to unlock a closer and clearer experience of the Sonoran Desert. This program includes a 15-minute walk on the Quail Trail, which is rated easy, with very little loose rock, uneven terrain and elevation change. Please wear closed-toe shoes and bring water. Hats and sunscreen are recommended. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center. Please, NO pets.

MEETING LOCATION: Nature Center
