[EVENT] Nature Sit Spot Series #3

Inspired by our collaboration with the lovely @branchingoutadv, Wellness is hosting a series of our own nature outings with sit spots from June to September! Our third event in the series will take place on Saturday, August 16, 1-3 PM, in the Morgan Hill/Gilroy area. Exact location will be shared upon registration at the following link: tinyurl.com/LWSitSpots25. We are doing our best to ensure that we choose trails that are highly accessible! Here are some other details:

🌞 What exactly is a sit spot, you ask? During these events, we will be moving through local parks & trails while intermittently engaging in 5-10 minute “sit spots.” The practice of sit spots allows us to take a breather and engage in mindfulness as we attune our minds and bodies to the sights, sounds, smells, and feelings that our surroundings provide us!

⭐ This series is for adults 18+ and free for all who attend. Light snacks & beverages will be provided. Please let us know if you have any allergies, dietary restrictions, and/or any accessibility needs using the registration form.

🤩 Feel free to bring a journal, stim toys, and anything else that would enhance your experience!

🌱 If you have any questions or concerns, please email lgbtqwellness@fcservices.org. We look forward to be intentionally in nature together!
