Ancestral Walk to Inner Peace: Connecting with Nature, History, and Unity
Let’s come together for a mindful walk through the historical sites of the Conference House Park, and cultivate inner peace and unity through guided breathing and meditation.
Explore the healing power of inner peace. Slow down, breathe, & discover tranquility within through a mindful ancestral nature walk, guided breathing, and meditation. Visit the city's first landmarked archaeological site, recognizing thousands of years of habitation by Indigenous Peoples, along with historical landmarks such as the Conference House Park, Henry Hog Biddle House, Rutan-Becket House, Billop House, and Ward House.
This walk highlights the theme of peace, reflecting on the Conference House as the site of the most significant peace attempt during the Revolutionary War. As we walk among the trees and embrace the energy of the land’s original inhabitants, from Indigenous Peoples to the families that called these houses their home, we are reminded that it is now up to us to bring oneness back into our lives. Nature offers us the perfect setting to begin cultivating the peace and unity we need at this point in history.
