Mindful Outdoor Experience

Savor serene trails through quiet forests, meadows, and wetlands at the 77-acre Sand Pond Woodlands. Spending time outside, immersed in the gifts of nature is an amazing antidote to the fast pace of modern living. Join Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide Andrea Higgins to release stress, gain inspiration from the living Earth, and reconnect with nature while admiring the fall foliage at this wildlife sanctuary, also home to otters, deer, opossums, racoons, coyotes, and more.

Rekindle your sense of curiosity, discovery, and wonder while experiencing the calming benefits of being completely present amid the bounty of your local conservation lands.
