Hey there Seattle!
Summer is marching on! I can’t believe it’s already mid-July!
My goal is to get you out trying something new! Yesterday I got to visit another awesome rooftop deck in downtown Seattle. Amazing how much new construction is taking place down there!
It’s a great time of year to get out on the water! Consider renting a kayak or canoe and get out for some fun!

1) July Forest Walk: Summer Sights at Seward Park
Redoing this from last month *let’s hope for much cooler temperatures this time*
This is our monthly in-person get-together to explore the wonderful green spaces in and around Seattle!
Let’s meet at 9 am on Sunday, July 18th, at Seward Park, a place we have visited several times in the past. Masks may be required, and social distancing will be strongly recommended (even for participants who have been vaccinated). My wish is to have this be as safe and fun an experience for everyone!
Guided walking meditation is a great way to experience on a sensory level the many changes that are taking place during this time, and to de-stress in a completely pressure-free setting. The pace is slow, easy and intended to both open and calm the mind.
