A Walk for all seasons
This page speaks directly to Arboretums and Preserves; to Corporate event planners, Retreat Centers and those who create retreats/workshops with the intention of creating a year-round experience for their members or guests.
A Walk for All Seasons takes individuals and groups on a guide-led walk in each of the four seasons. Each season has its own meaning and intention.

Winter:
Winter inspires people in different ways. For some, it's a love of the cold and glistening, newly-fallen snow. For others, it's a time to hibernate and rest; to reconsider and reinvent. It's a quiet time in a preserve or forest, and yet, a time when every sound can be heard. Winter can also evoke a sense of grief and loss, which is a natural part of life. A Winter Forest Walk includes invitations that speak to what's personal for each person on the walk with time to explore how they experience Winter and how that informs their actions. Winter walks take place in December, January and February.
Spring: Spring signals an awakening and new growth. The increase in sunlight increases bird song so the forests and preserves are alive with sound. The increase in sunlight activates us, too. We are still connected to the sun as a symbol of strength, warmth and regeneration. A Spring Forest Walk includes invitations that create rebirth as an exploration of what's possible after a long, cold winter in our lives. Spring can also evoke a sense of grief and loss. Spring creates opportunity to let go of things we've been holding onto or be mindful about how we hold onto them. Spring walks take place in March, April, May.
Summer: Summer is all about longer days, more sunlight, warmer temperatures and full blooms. A Summer Forest Walk includes invitations that create a full expression of what it means to live life fully engaged and expressed; how we bloom when we create optimal conditions in our own lives. Conversations with trees and flowers, water invitations make a Summer Forest Walk a very special experience. A Summer Forest Walk takes place in June, July, August.
Autumn: Autumn is always about Fall colors and leaves. We notice the temperature getting cooler and the days getting shorter; what have we realized over the summer and what is still ours to create? Invitations include the pushing off of leaves (because leaves don't really fall; they are pushed off by the tree), and how leaves inform our own actions. Autumn walks take place September, October, November.
