HikeAccess: Accessible/Mobility Focused Nature Walks

Foxboro, MA

HikeAccess: Accessible/Mobility Focused Nature Walks
This group focuses on short accessible hikes or nature walks for those with mobility, conditioning, or disability issues that are keeping them from getting out in nature, or who have found other hiking groups go too far and too fast to keep up, or over trails that are too challenging. This group caters specifically to those who are mobility challenged, or have other physical or conditioning issues that make slow, short hikes preferable. Myself, I have back and lung problems that are limiting, but I still love to get outdoors! Most hikes will targeted to be around a mile, on flat, easy trails, with a goal of being outside 45 minutes to an hour at most. Where possible I will try to find trails that have several short loops and call out if they have sections that are designated as "accessible "(i.e., flat surfaces designed specifically for mobility aids). A goal of this group is to create a safe and friendly space where people do not need to move fast or focus on distance. "How slow can you go?" is our motto. Look around, enjoy the light, the sounds, and the company of others. Bring a camera! Any hike I list, I will try my best to provide a description of the trail conditions, length, etc. The slowest person sets the pace (usually me). Although of course groups can get a little strung out, staying somewhat together and taking breaks will be encouraged. No animals please other than leashed & trained service dogs. You are of course welcome to bring a friend. We observe all park rules. Some hikes will be at Audubon/Trustees reserves, which may require a small fee if you are not a member. Disclaimer: Hike leaders are volunteers and do not claim any specific expertise. I cannot guarantee the accessibility of every trail for every person, but will provide descriptions so you can judge whether to try it. You are the best judge of your health and conditioning, and you agree that by attending an event with this group, you are entirely responsible for your own person. You agree that you understand the risks of outdoor recreation on hiking trails and will not hold this group or hike leaders liable in the case of bodily injury, as per Section 6 of the Meetup Terms of Service.

Tree of Light, Roots of Peace: Meditate, Create, & Elevate

Stoughton, MA

Tree of Light, Roots of Peace: Meditate, Create, & Elevate
Welcome journeyers and lightworkers! The Tree of Light, Roots of Peace meetup group is a sacred meeting space, with the intention to create more inner space and awaken creative inspiration, and to deepen our sense of homecoming within ourselves and with our beautiful Earth... Most of our events take place in Stoughton, MA, indoors and outdoors (including the annual Women Rise event) or the greater Boston area. We offer many wonderful opportunities to get connected with yourself, your creativity, and the natural world in a community of like-minded souls. This group is for you if you are interested in: \ Learning to meditate \ Becoming more aware of your intuition and inner world \ Bringing your current meditation practice to a deeper level \ Diving deep, healing old traumas, & being fully embodied in a safe and loving space \ Expressing the joy that is You in a loving, supportive community \ Sacred Women's Circles and Sisterhood \ Experiencing the healing power of Sound \ Exploring your Creativity through different art mediums \ Journaling as a transformative experience \ Connecting to the natural world through meditation and QiGong \ The power of Sound healing combined with Yoga and other modalities \ ...and other paths to deepening our joy in the human experience If any of these resonate with you, or you feel a pull or curiosity, we'd love to have you join us! The Tree of Light, Roots of Peace meetup group was created by Lydia Erickson as a way to share her sound healing, creative arts, and meditation classes in the Boston South Shore area, and to create a beautiful community. You can read more about her journey here and how Tree of Light, Roots of Peace was born: songofthetrees.com "Tree of Light" honors our physical and spiritual connection with the natural world, and "Roots of Peace" illustrates what happens to a world when the people honor their innate light and consciousness and reclaim their birthright of wholeness and connection to the Earth. The intention beneath healing the self is two-fold, for a release of trauma and a deepening of self-love is also healing to the Earth and life as a whole. To heal our Earth we must heal ourselves, which means staying on the path of growth, following our intuition, and awakening our creative abilities. Wishing You a Blessed Day!
