Each hike will feature a different topic of discussion. The hikes will be at three different parks on three separate dates.

Reconnect with yourself and nature. A quick guided meditation exercise will take place followed by an easy-moderate “five-senses” hike. The group will be meeting at the youth football field parking lot at 3415 Mills Road, Covington at 9 a.m. for registration.
Walk and Talk weather hike at New Kenton County Park. July 16 from 9 a.m. to noon.
