Hike + Heal Joshua Tree National Park (Weekend Retreat)
three days of magic amongst the joshua trees
Skip the chaos of Black Friday and join Sydney Williams of Hiking My Feelings for a long weekend of wellness in the wilderness of Joshua Tree National Park. Participants can engage in hiking, mindfulness activities, and community connections to deepen their self-awareness and resilience, integrating nature's healing power into their daily lives.
How can the natural world inspire us to better manage stress, emotions, and mindfulness? What transformations are possible when we purposefully engage with the desert, seeing the outer wilderness as a reflection of our inner landscape?
Join Sydney Williams, author and founder of Hiking My Feelings, for a weekend of wilderness wellness at Joshua Tree National Park. This experience combines hiking, mindfulness activities, self-reflection practices, and community connection to help participants uncover a deeper connection to themselves, others, and the world around them. Our proven framework for accessing nature's healing power will empower you to cultivate resilience, self-trust, and compassion. By integrating these skills from the park into your daily life, you can reduce stress, improve your mindset, and feel connected to a more meaningful existence.
