Nature Rx: Mindfulness Walk for Veterans

Mindfulness Walk
Join us for a mindful nature walk designed specifically for veterans. This walk offers an opportunity to relax, reflect, and reconnect with nature in the heart of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This leisurely walk will be less than one mile long on a mostly flat trail. For individuals who are interested, there may be an option for a slightly longer walk on a hilly trail. This event is free to join, but registration is required.

This walk is part of the Nature Rx program. For more details on the program, please visit www.forcvnp.org/naturerx.

Following the event, there is a free Tai Chi class from 7pm-8pm at the Ledges Shelter. This event is open to the public. Participants of the Mindfulness Walk are welcome to stay and join this class as well!
