Family-Friendly Hike with FOW and Hike+Heal

June 7 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Meeting at Blue Bell Hill Park
We’ve learned so much from our Wellness Consultant, Brandi Aulston, especially that healing and wellness aren’t linear; it’s a continued investment in ourselves. We’re happy to invite you to a family-friendly hike led by Brandi and her organization, Hike+Heal, where you can focus on you and your loved ones’ wellness. This hike is a great chance to connect with the outdoors and your community! Together we’ll engage in interactive exercises, reflect and practice mindfulness, and experience the beauty of the Wissahickon.
This hike will be set closer to dusk so we can have a little lightening bug capturing activity! Please bring your own jars/kits if you’d like to participate.
Brandi Aulston, MHA/MHE and founder of Hike+Heal Wellness LLC, is a wellness entrepreneur extremely dedicated to women’s overall wellness to help eliminate health disparities and increase diversity in the outdoor space for inner city women of color. Since 2019, Hike+Heal has created a safe space for strong community connections for people who desire to prioritize their self-care while connecting together in a powerful and healing way in nature. Hike+Heal was one of nineteen winners of the 2021 Pennsylvania COVID-19 Champion awarded by the Pennsylvania Parks & Forests Foundation.
