Expand

SPECIAL EVENT. TICKETS ARE LIMITED.

As adults, we have the ability to encourage our children to have experiences in nature and with yoga. Take the guesswork out by joining Melodee and Amanda as your guides!

Join us for a family centered yoga, nature, and art afternoon. Along the way to the Girl Scout Shelter we will collect items to make butterfly wands while listening to the beautiful flow of the streams while hiking and walking meditation. We will stop at the butterfly garden to have a butterfly inspired yoga class. Upon arrival at the Girl Scout Shelter we will create butterfly wands and enjoy a fire ceremony! Please bring a sack lunch to enjoy while we are stopped. Feel free to use the Fire to cook with. Adults are responsible for supervising their children around the fire!!

After this, we will continue our hike stopping along the way for magical moments and new paths until we reach the waterfall. This is where even more friendships are formed and the past few weeks the waterfall has been spectacular. The sounds are majestic throughout! This is where we end our event as a group. You will be given easy directions to the parking lot if you choose to exit or stay on your own.

The trails we will adventure on are fully capable for a beginner. Please note that some families bring strollers and/or toddler carriers. However, we cannot verify that all paths easily accommodate strollers. Pets are not allowed per Park Rules.

Cost is $20 presale through May 12 and include 1 adult and 1 child. $30 after. You may purchase one additional ticket for another child for $5. Limit 2 children per adult for supervisory reasons. Non refundable, in the event of cancellation due to weather, we will reschedule.

A portion proceeds go to Parkville Nature Sanctuary. The beautiful trails are maintained by volunteers and we truly appreciate this place of beauty they make accessible to us. This a great place to come and enjoy a few hours of family time. Nature is a powerful healer. If you have never been here you are in for a beautiful experience.

Bring a yoga mat, water, a bag or similar for collection items for the craft, a sack lunch and whatever else you feel you need for this event and please check the weather for appropriate clothing. Sneakers are okay unless there has been a recent hard rain.
