Led by Diana Lapp, Inner Strength Counseling Services, LLC
Take a mindful pause in nature and reconnect with yourself on this two-hour guided river walk for women. Beginning with grounding breathwork and meditation, you’ll then embark on a silent, slow-paced hike to the river, noticing sights, sounds, and sensations along the trail.
Using the ACT-based “Leaves on a Stream” metaphor (ACT-Acceptance Commitment Therapy), each participant will collect a fallen leaf to symbolically release worries, self-doubt, or recurring thoughts into the flowing water. Journaling prompts and optional group conversation will help integrate the experience and explore new ways of relating to thoughts and stress. The walk concludes with a mindful return to the trailhead, giving you space to carry the calm and clarity back into daily life. Reconnect, reflect, and let go — your calm awaits by the river.
WHAT TO BRING: Water, appropriate footwear, and an optional blanket or mat. Journals and pens will be provided.
NOTE: We move at the pace of the slowest hiker, so the walk’s end time may vary slightly.
COST: $25 per participant.
$5 from each registration will be donated to New Jersey Audubon in support of their conservation efforts and stewardship of local wildlife habitats. By participating, attendees are not only investing in their own well-being, but also contributing to the preservation of the natural spaces that make reflection, restoration, and connection possible.

Join Dorothy for a “talk and walk” to discover the fascinating world of fungi. Fungi have been used for thousands of years by humans, not only as food but as medicine, fire-starters, insect repellants, decoration, for religious ceremonies and more. Fungi are very important to forests. Not only are they decomposers and recyclers in the forest ecosystem, but they also connect to tree roots – a mutualistic symbiosis that might allow trees to communicate with each other. After a talk and display about fungi fun facts, we will walk the trails to look for the diverse groups of mushrooms and fungi. Hand-outs available.
One person per ticket. Ticket sale ends 7/24 at 4:00 PM.&nbsp;
