Overview of Tour: This interpretive walking tour is a slow hike with frequent stops for guided mindfulness exercises. Tour capacity is 9 participants. Detailed Explanation of Guided Interpretation: The tour begins with warming-up the body with gentle movement and breathing exercises. Then a mindful hike to a vortex location. While walking, your tour guide will help you reflect on and interpret the landscape in new and unique ways. Then, once acclimated to the landscape, you will be led through a progression of intuitive skill-building practices to experience the vortex energy.

Your trained and experienced tour guide will lead the group in a guided meditation. There will be time for free play and forest bathing.
