We Walk and We Relax, Restore & Reset with Coach Shay founder of Inner Sanctuary Wellness.

Join us at the beautiful Discovery Center for a wellness walk to experience the reservoir from the waterwalk/pier, explore treetop views from the observation deck, and admire the changing autumn leaves and bird song along the scenic Discovery Center trail.

Next, we will ease into the evening guided by Coach Shay with a gentle yoga flow to open the heart and body for self connection. Relax even deeper with a peaceful sound bath, inviting release and deep rest. Then, we gather with warm tea, creating space to pause, reflect and restore. This is an invitation to a seasonal slowing of mind, body, and spirit.

About
Join us for a pre-season We Walk PHL mixer and Camp Academy kickoff featuring the Philly Gear Library. This event kicks off the beginning of a collaborative series that we are building out to educate and encourage residents to commune with nature for wellness, outdoor recreation, entertainment, stewardship, camp camaraderie and park etiquette and survival, solo or with others.

Hike the Boxer’s Trail (approx 1hr)
Refreshments & socialize Resources, tap into the Discovery Center, We Walk Q&A
Philly Gear Library camping workshop
Rain or shine and family friendly

About the Trail: The wooded Boxer’s Trail is dirt and gravel with a few inclines. We will walk for approximately one hour and then emerge from the wooded trail at Mt Pleasant Mansion, returning to the Discovery Center for resources and camping activities.

Come and learn about the Philly Gear Library and enjoy the workshop orientation. The Philly Gear Library will provide everything that a typical camp setup includes.

Tap into the camping knowledge shared for thriving recreation, gear care, outdoor etiquette, navigating weather and survival.

Learning safe ways to set up camp, learn about our upcoming workshop plans, and the camping trip in August, where you can practice what you've learned with the gear provided or bring your gear.

Learn more about the Philly Gear Library:

Website: www.PhillyGearLibrary.com

IG: https://www.instagram.com/phillygearlibrary...

Mission: We exist to eliminate the barrier of gear ownership in pursuit of camping and backpacking activities for minoritized and marginalized groups.

Bio: Robin Roberts - Founder of Philly Gear Library, is a practicing physical therapist with a Master’s in Physical Therapy and Business Administration and a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Temple University.

Her passion for Philly Gear Library has developed from years of experiencing the joys and healing of being in nature. She also noticed that many communities of color would benefit from nature adventures, but were frequently absent. One of the major barriers that keeps people from participating is the lack of appropriate gear.

It is our major goal to eliminate the barrier of “gear” so that communities of color can participate in more outdoor experiences. Certifications: First Aid/Basic Life Support (BLS, CPR & AED), Wilderness First Responder (WFR)

We Walk PHL is a program in partnership between Fairmount Park Conservancy, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation that offers free weekly walking groups at various public parks throughout the city.

Learn about our brave freedom seeking ancestors who escaped enslavement, traveling up through Delaware and Pennsylvania to reach Canada and settle in the north. Special guest will be our sister Conductor Dee of UGR3Day featured in the film. This free screening will take place inside the Education Building at the Norristown Farm Park.
