Steps Toward Healing: A Mindfulness Walk & Wave of Light

Join us for an evening of mindfulness, movement, remembrance, and community as we honor babies gone too soon. About This Event Join SAILS for Steps Toward Healing: A Mindfulness Walk & Wave of Light, an evening of mindfulness, movement, remembrance, and community in recognition of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day. We’ll begin with a guided outdoor mindfulness experience led by Lori Scanelli, Rooted Outdoor Guide, including gentle breathwork and meditation, followed by a 25–35 minute Mindfulness Walk along the trail. Walking is completely optional. Guests are welcome to remain at the pavilion, where a SAILS team member will host a time of connection and reflection. At 7:00 PM, we’ll gather for the International Wave of Light, joining families around the world in remembrance of babies lost during pregnancy and infancy. SAILS will provide LED remembrance candles, followed by creative remembrance activities and time together in community.
