As we begin to feel the subtle shift from summer into fall, I’ve been thinking about the importance of coming together as the seasons change.
The Farmers’ Almanac often describes September as a month of transition, when the days gradually shorten, temperatures begin to cool, and nature starts moving toward the quieting and inward energy of autumn.
With that in mind, I’m excited to invite you all to a September community hang and mindful hike at Cromwell Valley Park…. 🍁 Step Back in September: Community Hang + Mindful Hike 🍁
Sunday, September 20th | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- Location: Cromwell Valley Park
- Address: 2002 Cromwell Bridge Road, Parkville, MD 21234
- Meeting Spot: In front of Sherwood House—the beautiful stone house at the top of the driveway/road you turn onto for the address above.
A quick parking heads-up: Parking close to the meeting spot is limited and usually fills up quickly on weekends, so please plan accordingly and give yourself a little extra time to arrive.
For this gathering, we’ll spend some time exploring the land, giving thanks, and grounding ourselves together through meditation before taking a stroll through the woods. As always, there will be plenty of space for connection, conversation, quiet, and simply being together.
This hike is a little different from our typical outings at Lake Roland. The trails at Cromwell Valley are hillier and somewhat more physically demanding than our usual flat, paved paths.
If you experience significant joint pain or discomfort with hills, uneven terrain, or the cooler weather of fall, this particular hike may not be the best fit for you.
And a little preview for October…
I’m planning an art activity + seated community hang for our October gathering. I’m really looking forward to creating a space where we can be together, make something, and enjoy a lower-key afternoon. Stay tuned for more details! Message me if you have any questions - hope to hike with you soon!
