Women's Wellness Walk

As we begin 2024, join Alaina Crystal, a coach focused on helping women reconnect with their innate power, on this inspiring walk. Take this opportunity at the start of the new year to connect with yourself, your community, and your natural environment. Featuring coaching with Alaina, as well as moments of sharing and meditation, this wellness walk can help you welcome in the new year with a sense of groundedness.

We’ll begin at Shala with an opening circle to forge connections amongst the group, then set out for an easy two-hour walk on level terrain, with a tea stop midway. We’ll reconvene back at Shala to warm up and check out, with an option to head to Walpole Tidal Pool for a cold water swim afterwards.

Some elements that may be included:

 ● Silent walking / forest bathing 

● Paired listening exercise

● Noticing exercise

● 1:1 coaching - throughout the walk, a chance to walk with Alaina and receive some coaching
