Mindfulness Among the Wildflowers: Forest Therapy Walk at Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve Wednesday, May 11, 2022

Our guide will lead us on a quarter mile adventure as everything is in bloom and help us find the quiet rhythm of nature. Following our walk, lunch is included at Bowman’s Tavern and then there will be plenty of time for strolling the streets of historic downtown New Hope, PA, before returning with a new appreciation for nature!
