  • Mindfulness dynamics that connect body and mind.
  • Healthy picnic and a break to breathe calmly.
  • Activities for children and adults that strengthen bonds.
  • A full day to reconnect with you and your loved ones.

Description

It's not a walk with selfie and thermos in hand. It's getting out of Seattle, leaving the noise behind and getting into a place where the air is different and time goes slower. We leave from Lake Union. We pick you up. It's a no-brainer. 80 minutes of road with views that are worth the trip. We walk. We climb. We breathe. Heather Lake awaits. And it does not disappoint. Along the way, we pause. Real Mindfulness, no empty phrases. Conscious breathing, connection with the body, with the forest and with whoever walks beside you. Upon arrival, a simple meditation of gratitude. Nothing forced. Just being. ✔️ We make a nature checklist: what you see, what you smell, what it sounds like. Kids love it. And adults are reminded of what they had forgotten. Dynamics to connect with your loved ones. Simple games, but that open conversations, laughter and memories. Because sometimes all it takes is a little shared time in the right place. Healthy snack. Light, tasty and designed not to go upstairs with a full stomach and an empty soul. If the day is good, you take a bath. If not, maybe you'll go for it. Photos you'll want to print. Or keep forever. And back. But not the way you came out. Because something changes. Not suitable for those who won't let go of their cell phone. Limited capacity. Only 10 people per outing. No megaphones. No rush. No massive groups that leave you exhausted instead of refreshed. And no, you don't have to pay now. But you do have to decide. If it vibrates you, book. If you're curious, ask. But don't leave it for when you're tired of the usual. Because this forest doesn't wait. Come with us. And breathe differently for a day.
