Monthly Wordless Walk: April 27, 2013, 8:30 a.m. -  By April, spring is in full bloom at the swamp! Birdsong guaranteed. You might see tree frogs, deer, egrets, or armadillos. Come walk in the woods in a new way–  No bird ID, no photography tips – just really being present on a silent walk.  Sound good?  Here’s what one recent walker had to say: “This  walk without talking was like a wordless conversation with the senses.  We were intelligently guided in ways to see, hear, smell and feel nature.  It was like a balm or medicine and I just seemed to soak it up.  Can’t think of a better way to spend a morning.”  We meet at Jean Lafitte National Park at the Pecan Grove Parking Lot.  Bring water and insect repellent. Be prepared for a little mud if there’s been recent rain. $5.00 donation appreciated but not required.

Monthly Wordless Walk: May 19, 2013, 8:30 a.m. -  By May, everything is as green as it’s going to be, and the summer sounds will be starting. Come walk in the woods in a new way–  No bird ID, no photography tips – just really being present on a silent walk.  Sound good?  Here’s what one recent walker had to say: “This  walk without talking was like a wordless conversation with the senses.  We were intelligently guided in ways to see, hear, smell and feel nature.  It was like a balm or medicine and I just seemed to soak it up.  Can’t think of a better way to spend a morning.”  We meet at Jean Lafitte National Park at the Pecan Grove Parking Lot.  Bring water and insect repellent.

Moonlight Wordless walk!  Thursday, May 24, 6:00 p.m. We’ll walk the trail, enjoy sunset and moonrise, and walk back after dark.  This is a special treat – don’t miss it!

Participants say it’s like a spa for the soul – a relaxing time where you don’t have to do anything but be fully present in nature  The swamp as dusk gives way to night is magical, especially when we’re quiet so we can just soak in the experience. Something amazing always happens!  We meet at the Bayou Coquille Parking area at Jean Lafitte National Park. Email me at carla@livingwildandprecious.com to RSVP.
