What we’re about
Join Our Mundy Park Women's Walking Group! 🌿
Our urban forest walking group focuses on health, fitness, and friendship. Inspired by Eckhart Tolle's philosophy of being present and living in the Now and the Japanese practice of forest bathing (Shinrin Yoku), you'll experience the healing benefits of nature, reduced stress, and enhanced well-being as you connect with like-minded women in a beautiful, natural forest setting.
Why Join Us?
Embrace Nature and Health: Immerse yourself in Mundy Park's serene environment and experience the profound health benefits of Shinrin Yoku. (Shinrin in Japanese means "forest," and Yoku means "bath." Shinrin Yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere or taking in the forest through your senses.) This Japanese practice of engaging your senses in nature will boost your immune system, lower blood pressure, alleviate stress, reduce cortisol and improve your mood. Walking in the woods enhances your overall physical and psychological well-being, making every step a step towards better health.
Forge Friendships: Connect with like-minded, health-conscious women through intimate, engaging walks that foster lasting bonds. Our community is supportive and motivating, cheering for your wellness goals and providing encouragement at every step.
Be Present: Inspired by Eckhart Tolle's philosophy, our walks encourage you to be fully present in the moment. Savour the sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees, and the beauty of sunlight filtering through the leaves. This mindfulness practice helps you relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy a deeper connection with nature and yourself.
Perfect Pace: Our moderate walking pace strikes the ideal balance—energizing yet gentle, allowing for enjoyable conversations and scenic appreciation.
Experience the Difference:
- Trail Adventures: Explore the 4.3 km Perimeter Trail, where fitness meets nature and friendship flourishes.
- Health Benefits: Enjoy a workout that's kind to your body but effective, boosting cardiovascular health, mood, and energy levels through walking and Shinrin Yoku.
- Welcome All: Bring along your furry friends for added fun and motivation.
