Mindfulness Interpretive Walk

We’ve installed a “Winter Mindfulness Walk” on the display boards along the Homestead Trail. Now that it’s late winter, many of us are starting to feel a bit cooped up and could probably use some fresh air and a change of scenery, so we hope you will visit the island for this peaceful interpretive walk.

This self-guided walk begins at the sign next to the kiosk, and continues along the Homestead Trail until you reach the milkweed field and old house foundation, covering approximately a half mile. The signs along the way include inspirational poems and quotes, simple activities and techniques to stay in the moment, information about the benefits of walking in the forest, and meditations on the lessons we can draw from nature about surviving the harsh seasons of life. The Winter Mindfulness Walk will be installed through the end of March.
