Spend three calming, peaceful hours hiking through Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in Lenox. This mindfulness-based walk weaves together smartphone photography, poetry, breathwork, meditation, and haiku to deepen your experience of creating images in the forest. As we move gently along wooded trails, we’ll explore light and shadow, texture, and essential photographic techniques, inviting a slower way of seeing and a more intentional connection to the natural world. Let this immersive, contemplative adventure awaken your creativity and attune your senses to the quiet magic of the woods. This program is hosted at Mass Audubon Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary with the permission and collaboration of Mass Audubon.
Meeting Location: Students should meet the instructor in front of the Visitor's Center. Students are responsible for paying any entry or parking fees associated with this hike. Admission to Pleasant Valley is $5 for adults, $3 for seniors, and $0 (for members of Mass Audubon). More information about Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary HERE.
