Fall Forditude: Nature Journaling, Hike & Yoga

Join Triple Moon Cleveland and Mama Moon for Fall Forditude: a nature journaling, hike, and yoga event. We'll celebrate the fall season by embracing both movement and reflection, observing the slowing of nature in the fall season and turning inward to set intentions for the quiet winter to come. We’ll cover ~2-2.5 miles on a guided hike broken up with stops for both nature journaling and yoga. Join us for a morning of community, movement, and reflection in nature. Participants will not only leave with a tool belt of mindful activities and writing skills to use in the future, but also a sense of appreciation for Northeast Ohio’s local flora, fauna, and history. All skill levels welcome! 📅 Saturday, November 7 at 9:30 a.m. (event will end at approx. 12 p.m.) 📌 Brecksville Reservation: We will meet by the Brecksville Nature Center sign at the Harriet Keeler Area Parking Lot on Chippewa Creek Drive (coordinates: 41.319196, -81.616535).
