Wellness Walks Starting!

At Wilderness for Wellness, we believe that spending time in nature is not just about adventure—it’s about healing, connection, and finding clarity in an often chaotic world. That’s why we’ve been hosting weekly wellness walks at Lawrenceville, every weekend, bringing together students who want to step away from stress and reconnect with nature. So far, 25 people have joined these walks, and the impact has been incredible.

Research consistently shows that spending time in nature has profound effects on mental health, reducing stress, improving mood, and even boosting creativity. One participant shared:

“There’s something about walking through the woods that just slows everything down. I came in feeling overwhelmed, and by the time we reached the clearing, I felt like I could breathe again.”

Another emphasized how the walks provide a sense of grounding:

“Being surrounded by trees, feeling the wind, hearing nothing but nature—it reminded me that I’m part of something bigger. The worries I had when I started walking didn’t seem as heavy anymore.”

The beauty of wellness walks is that they offer a space for everyone—whether you seek solitude to reflect, connection with others, or simply a chance to move and reset. As John Muir once said, “Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life.”  Each step taken in nature is a step toward mental clarity, emotional balance, and renewed energy. Through these guided experiences, Wilderness for Wellness hopes to inspire more people at Lawrenceville to embrace the outdoors—not just for its beauty, but for the well-being it fosters. As one walker put it:

“It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder that taking care of my mental health doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, all I need to do is step outside.”

If you’re looking for a simple yet powerful way to improve your well-being, join us every weekend for a wellness walk.
