Happy New Year friends!

Our first contemplative hike of the year will be on Saturday, January 31st at 10am at Charmlee Wilderness Park in Malibu! I checked out conditions a couple of weeks ago and the trail is looking stunning after the winter rains... :)

Trailhead Address:  2577 Encinal Canyon Rd, Malibu, CA 90265

Details for the trail are available on All Trails, here.

This trail is in Malibu, California and is part of traditional, sacred, and unceded land of the Chumash and other Indigenous peoples.

We wander in spaces with layered, complex histories that include abuse and exclusion. We try to be mindful and work towards understanding, renewed relationship & restitution. Learn more here.

The nature of our wanderings requires a level of ability that is not a reality for all. We walk as a community, conscious of varying ability and individual need. Regardless of your particular ability, who you are, who you love, your beliefs or understandings, we hope you will feel welcomed, affirmed, embraced, and heard if you wander with us.

Please send an RSVP to payton.hoegh@spiritualityinnature.org so we know who to expect!

Recommended gear: Comfortable shoes, Sun hat, Layers, Sun block, Water and Snacks.
