Monday Meditation 🧘♀️
When was the last time you went out for a walk or hike by yourself with no headphones and without looking at your phone? Our guess is that it’s probably been a while.
We challenge you to take a walk in nature and be fully present while you’re walking. Observe the different trees and plants you walk past, listen to the birds or the sound of leaves crunching under your feet, feel the breeze or the sunshine on your skin, and take a deep breath of the fresh air.
Take at least 5 minutes out of your day to walk in nature. You may even find that you return to your day feeling calmer and refreshed!

The colors of fall help us to slow down and take in our surroundings. Suddenly we all want to sit and watch the leaves rustle in the wind, observe the deer walking across the field, and have new appreciation for the cool breeze and gentle sunlight.
The changing landscape everyday and the way nature glows even brighter during golden hour, we are constantly amazed at the beauty around us. These 175 acres we`ve got here are truly unlike anywhere else!
