MICRO TRIPS
Just 2 days, 1 night, and in it all. On Micro trips, you get the empowering physical experience of carrying everything you need for an overnight in the woods, and at the same time, an ease and feeling that you have really gotten away from it all. We'll see woods, the pond, views of Stratton Mtn and maybe a beaver or the rare luna moth; we'll hear the birds, the trees, our feet crunching the leaves and maybe the loons calling; we'll feel free, alive & aware. A perfect microdose of nature & mindfulness.

DAY 1
Approach
On Day 1 we meet at Green Room Wellness Center in the morning for final preparations and pack review.
Then we enjoy the beautiful drive to Vermont, including a stop along the way to our favorite visitors center with local art on display and sometimes local treats for sale. We will start our hike with a simple meditation and mindful hiking. When we reach the stone table we will stop for lunch. Some highlights on Day 1 are the first glimpses of Stratton Pond, walking on the boardwalks, noticing what is in bloom and how green everything is! When we arrive, we will set up camp and have an optional meditation before (or after) dinner on the edge of Stratton Pond. As it gets dark, you can turn on your solar lantern (provided), climb into your tent, read/journal, or listen for the local loon or geese overhead.
Totals: 4.5 miles/3-4hrs.
DAY 2
Ease in all of it
Day 2 is coffee/tea & sunrise meditation near the pond or the shelter, breakfast, and possibly orange salamander or beaver sightings. We will hike the 4.5 miles back on the same trail we came in on, but it will look surprisingly completely different walking in the other direction! On our drive, we will stop at a lovely favorite Vermont Farm Stand where you can choose from an amazing assortment of baked goods and seasonal veggies or fruit for purchase to bring home (or for lunch at a picnic table on location) if you want.
Totals: 4.5 miles/3-4hrs.
