Connect + Create Nature Club

Grand Rapids, 49505

About this Club

Our creativity requires connection. Connection to self, to other and to the world around us. The Connect + Create Nature club is a space designed to help you get back in touch with your creative center by immersing yourself in nature. We will explore a different modality each month in combination with a slow, intentional hike meant to clear the clutter in your brain and help you settle back into your soul.

Being a creative can often feel lonely and disconnected. Our meet ups will offer a chance to connect with others in an authentic and meaningful way while soaking in the healing powers of the natural world. Our time together will be tech free and will include everything from a simple hike and talking to the trees, to watercoloring in the woods.

SEPTEMBER: This month we will expand our connection to others through a picnic!. We will begin with a 15 minute meet and greet near the parking lot as everyone arrives. At 5:30 we will move into the park for a short grounding practice that will invite you to slow down, check back in with yourself and set the stage for a meaningful evening together. We’ll embark on a 2-3 mile out and back hike on the paved trail where we’ll end over a shared meal. Coming together around a meal is proven to boost connection and mental wellbeing and a key component of longevity. Food will be provided and include a variety of appetizer type dishes and sparkling water. You may bring any additional food or beverage of your choice. Please let your host know in advance of any dietary restrictions.

**Blankets for the picnic will be provided but you are welcome to bring a chair if desired.

**Dogs are welcome but must be leashed. You agree to take full responsibility for clean up, safety and care of your pet during this experience. Please only bring dogs that are safe and comfortable in a group setting and note if they will behave appropriately around food.

ABOUT YOUR HOST: As the founder of Happy People Hike, I am passionate about the connection between us and the natural world. I’m on mission to bring the human back to human-ing.

Through retreats and workshops, I’ve seen the magic that can happen when you bring people together outdoors and allow the space for everyone to reconnect with parts of themselves that have been lost in the noise of the modern world.
