Mindfulness Walk at Mount Auburn

Join guest guide Stefanie Haug as we explore Mount Auburn by slowing down and being attentive to nature with all our senses. Join Stefanie Haug, LICSW, ecotherapist and nature and meditation teacher as we step into the restorative beauty of Mount Auburn Cemetery for a gentle, guided mindful nature walk. Together, we'll slow down, awaken our senses, and experience the healing benefits of being fully present in the natural world. Through mindful walking, quiet reflection, sensory invitations, and optional moments of connection, we'll explore how nature can help us cultivate grounding, resilience, belonging, and renewal. Surrounded by trees, birdsong, and seasonal beauty, we'll take time to notice, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves, one another, and the more-than-human world. Whether you're seeking calm, community, or simply a peaceful pause from everyday life, this welcoming walk offers an opportunity to restore your body, mind, and spirit while deepening your sense of connection to nature and to those walking beside you. Come as you are. Suitable for all ages and bodies and interests. Slow-paced walk around the cemetery with pauses and a chance to sit and observe. Bring water and something to sit on, if desired. This month's session will be held outdoors, please dress accordingly with the weather. Check-in for this month's event will be outside Story Chapel. ...
