Family Meditation: Mindfulness Any Time, Anywhere!

3rd Saturday of Every Month

“Learn to meditate any time, anywhere!”

You can practice mindfulness anywhere — while standing in line, brushing your teeth, doing your chores, chewing gum . . . even talking, smelling, hearing, and seeing!

This month, we’ll do some basic sitting meditation instruction and then take it “off the cushion” to brainstorm how we can be mindful and/or meditate any time, anywhere! This is such a valuable tool for peole of all ages to relieve stress and increase happines. Who doesn’t want that?

This group is targeted for kids ages 3-10ish. By donation.

Daniel Ridge Falls & Loop Hike

Join us for this adult paced/carrier only hike on this beautiful, lesser traveled Pisgah National Forest Trail, to Daniel Ridge Falls. We will be taking the Daniel Ridge Loop trail (Red Blazes) that begins on a gravel road, passing over a bridge, joining up with the more rugged trail with a gradual incline. We will stop about midway in an open area of the trail to let the kids stretch out their legs and eat a snack/lunch. We will trek along this moderately difficult trail for about 4 miles, where we will stop along the way to get a beautiful view of this 150 ft waterfall.

**Important: The address will only take you to the Pisgah Center/Fish Hatchery, the parking for this hike is 3.9 miles past the center, please use the detailed information for parking! You are welcome to come a little early and stop at the Pisgah Center for restrooms as there are none available where we are meeting

Directions/Parking Information:
Enter Pisgah National Forest, Go 5.3 miles and turn left at the sign for Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education and the State Fish Hatchery. Go 3.9 miles and park in the parking area on the right (it’s about 2.5 miles past the Pisgah Center on Forest Road #475). The last half mile is unpaved starting at the Cove Creek Group Campground and a little bumpy.

There are only a handful of parking spots, if they are full, additional parking is available in front of Cove Creek Campground!

Join the Hike It Baby Asheville Facebook Group to RSVP to join them!
