Join Avon Recreation & Parks, Bike Walk Avon CT, and the Avon Land Trust for a slow-paced, sensory experience designed to help you slow down, connect with nature, and experience the forest in a new way.

This is not a traditional hike. The two-hour experience will include a brief orientation and meditation, followed by guided, nature-based invitations that encourage participants to engage their senses and connect with their surroundings. The program will conclude with time for reflection and sharing.
