Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life? If so, we invite you to try the Council's Mindful Walking Program, where you can learn new skills and strategies to help you relax.
Mindful walking is a natural way to unwind, de-stress and reconnect with yourself and is designed to help you find tranquillity and rejuvenation amidst the beauty of nature. Our Mindful Walking Program offers you the perfect opportunity to find inner peace to help improve your mental health and wellbeing.
