Mindful Meditation Walk

May 13, 2023 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am
Deepen your awareness of the journey with this meditative walk.  Learn to slow down and experience the restorative nature of the Blue Hills.
Many people intuitively know that they feel better when they spend time in the outdoors. Research has verified that nature connection is profoundly beneficial to our health and well-being. Benefits include boosting immunity, reducing blood pressure and heart rate, and relieving depression and anxiety. Leave behind the multitasking and frenetic pace of day-to-day life, and ease into the slower and restorative pace of the natural world though a guided Mindful Meditation walk, led by Jean Beebe.
This event is currently full.  Please let a note in the comments to be added to the waiting list.

Meet the Blue Hills Trees!

May 20, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 12:30 pm

Need to branch out? Explore more by joining a naturalist to get to know the trees that you see in the Blue Hills!

Have you ever wondered what makes a tree distinct from the others in the forest?   Friends of the Blue Hills and the Mary May Binney Wakefield Arboretum team up to lead a three-mile hike to explore what makes many species of trees unique but also part of an interconnected ecosystem that is the amazing Blue Hills. Please join us for this family friendly event to be followed by soup and hot cocoa at the Mary May Binney Wakefield Arboretum.

If you see ‘zero items’ for an event, that means the event is full.  To be placed on the waiting list, please let us know in the comments.
