Hello dear friends!

Our February mindful walk will be on Saturday, February 21st at 10am at Placerita Canyon Trail in Santa Clarita! After the recent rains the trail should be beautiful!

Trailhead Address: 19152 Placerita Canyon Rd, Newhall, Santa Clarita, CA 91321

There’s a nice big parking lot where we’ll meet up at 9:50 am.

While the hike is around 4.5 miles, we’ll adapt to the needs and abilities of our group and may shorten the hike to match our timeframe. Details on the trail are available at: alltrails.com/trail/us/california/placerita-canyon-and-waterfall-trail

This trail is in Santa Clarita, California and is part of traditional, sacred, and unceded land of the Chumash, Fernandeño Tataviam, 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.
