Join us to improve your sense of wellbeing with a nature connection! Our guided public walks typically take place in New York City's Central Park. Unless otherwise noted, they last three hours and cover less than a mile, plus 1/4 mile each way getting to and from within the park. Walks conclude with a snack and tea ceremony.
Upcoming walks are listed here, with new walks added regularly. Check back to learn about additional walks or click here to receive notices about upcoming walks and events (and see our latest newsletter here).
