"…we can derive meaning and support from walking our journeys.”

A walk in nature can become a transformative journey, a spiritual sojourn into our inner landscapes. As settings and texts intertwine, relationships between textures, shapes, scents, colors, water and land become powerful metaphors and a source of wisdom. Each walk is enriched through mindfulness practice, poetry and texts. Rabbi Nina J. Mizrahi will be leading spiritual sojourns through the Chicago Botanic Gardens. We ‘ll meet outside the Chicago Botanic Gardens Gift Shop and will begin promptly at 9:00 am. Wear comfortable shoes & clothes (sun & reading glasses, hat & water bottle). You will not need your phone or camera. Keep in mind that if you drive to the the Gardens, you may be required to pay their fee to enter.
