Mindful Birding at Valley Forge

Mindful Bird Walks connect people with the natural world. We use birds as our guides. We observe what is living around us. This is not a typical or traditional bird walk. We will not be identifying, labeling, or counting birds. Mindful Bird Walks combine observing birds with mindfulness techniques, creating a practice of awareness and a connection with nature using birds as our guides. We will learn several mindfulness methods you can use for your own practice. The intention of the walk is to slow down, engage our senses, be aware of the present moment, relax, and immerse ourselves in nature.

Our walk will be on Wednesday, June 3, at 9:00 AM at Wayne’s Woods. We will meet in the parking lot. We will walk less than a mile at a slow pace on a combination of grass and black-topped surfaces. You may bring binoculars if you want, but it is not necessary. This walk will be limited to 10 participants, and registration is required.
