Happy New Year from Forests for the World (Prince George, BC)!! With the windchill at -35C, I kept this solo hike short and sweet. Just enough to get my thrill of being ALIVE! Taking a deep breath… and sharing with you the gift of nature and its healing vibes 🙏☺️

Reflecting back on the last year, it certainly was not business as usual. BUT… the delayed start to the hiking and paddling season provided an opportunity to learn new skills, try new things, and create new programs. Some key highlights of 2021…

- Completed the Ontario Master Naturalist program with Lakehead University

- Launched SUP camp for youth

- Launched pay-what-you-can Yoga in the Park and raised $1200 for Meaford Food Bank and Outreach

- Teamed up with my hubby Chris to produce our first community tourism/ promotional videos for Meaford and Cape Croker Park - have your tried their Ziibaakdakaan maple syrup yummm! You can view them here: https://www.peaktoshoreadventures.com/adventure-awaits

Digging deep with gratitude, I’m excited for another year of personal growth, wonderful surprises - and to be able to share the joy of adventure with others!

For 2022, sending you… COURAGE to explore beyond your comfort zone - GRIT to rise and shine, especially when you fall (we all do!) - WISDOM to know when to push and when to pause - and always… peace, love and JOY! ❤️

We are in this together.
Be strong. Be well. Be kind. 🙏🤙✌️

I love hiking with friends - but I also cherish solo hikes. Often, I pause in silence - other times, I twirl - yes, I said twirl - and giggle! I feel the need to bust a move due to an overwhelming sense of peace and joy! Maybe I'm "alone" on this - and I'm ok with that 🥰

Healthy parks. Healthy people! ✌️

Next time you are in a forest, pause and close your eyes. Feel that? That’s waldeinsamkeit.

Kicked off Sunday Funday with a Wellness Walk at Sligo Side Trail! Thanks to my fellow trailblazers for joining me despite a bit of “drizzle”! Was great to reconnect with friends and meet new ones. We had so much fun that I forgot to take photos - except for this one! 😄

Next Wellness Walk/Hike… next Sunday - or sooner! Details coming soon - comment if you’d like to join or be added on our call list! ✌️🥾

Fall hikes are a special kind of wonderful - and best shared with friends! Thinking of starting weekly hikes to explore and enjoy our local trails throughout our region in Grey Bruce Simcoe. Let me know if you're interested! ❤️

Woohoo! Yoga in the Park 2021 raised $1200 for the Meaford Food Bank!! Thank you to everyone who came out and supported a great cause - and in turn, they enjoyed the camaraderie and connection of yoga under blue skies, summer sun, and a warm breeze…

For some, it was their first yoga class ever. Such a great introduction with welcoming vibes from Beth and Melanie ahhh. And for many - including me, it was our first b***y barre class with Paula - and first hula hooping experience with Sam. Amazing! The AH-HA moments were a-plenty! From heartfelt expressions of “OMG this feels so good” to “Whaat?! I’ve never been to this park”. And yes, the secret’s out - we have hidden gems right here at home - People and Parks!

And big hugs and gratitude to our local yoga teachers and special guests. In the spirit of promoting health, wellness, and community, each one volunteered their time, energy and unique gifts to help us unwind, relax - and have fun!

If you’d like to explore, dive deeper or simply feel a sense of peace through guided flows and meditation in motion, below is a list of the participating teachers and links to their website or page. Check them out!
