I'm inspired by walking on Mother Earth. I feel connected to 'all that is'; I feel physiologically balanced by the elements, spiritually nourished and intellectually stimulated. If you enjoy connecting with Mother Earth join up and share your favorite walks on the land. Create a meetup 'walk' on local trails, invite people to join you, and share a tip at the beginning of the walk that you find enhances your connection to the land. That's all there is to it!

A group of professional women, who'd like to do casual walks all around town and in our parks and open spaces - primarily in Chapel Hill and environs. The aim of the group is to get some exercise, enjoy the outdoors and get to know each other. There is a focus on reverence for nature and respect for the environment. Walks will be of a leisurely nature as this is not a power walking group. It will be about the journey and not the destination. Intended for women who live in close proximity to …
