Join Moira of Hike & Heal Wellness this summer for the Parent-Child Nature Play Series on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays on the west and east sides of Madison between June 11-July 25 (no classes July 2 and 4)! It’s going to be sweet, full of fun, and offer a dose of self-care for primary caregivers.

This 6- or 12-class series (Tuesdays and/or Thursdays) is for you and your little one(s) to explore, climb, imagine, play & connect with other families outside in natural spaces. Think respite from having to plan fun activities to engage your kids. Think developmentally appropriate sensory-based play that is led by the interest of the kids. Think self-care for you! There will be opportunities to leave your littles to it with an additional instructor (Sam of Playful Acorns) or trained mentors (of over 10 years old) while Moira leads you through some grounding exercises to re-center and re-align with your body, mind and spirit. Are you convinced yet? Let's gather together and have some fun!

Location:  Tuesdays - Westmorland Park - a meeting location will be emailed one week prior to the series start date.  Thursdays - Moira's home (East Madison) + nearby walkable parks - details will be emailed one week prior to the series start date.

Investment: $125/series or $200 for both

Interested in dropping into some of these instead? Email Moira, info@hikeandheal.com at least one week before the date you'd like to attend, and she will register you on the back end for $25/session.

Time: 9:30-11:30am **Opening circle happens when everyone arrives. The idea is to not be stressed on days you get to attend. This should feel like a breath of fresh air! Give yourself permission to be late and be welcomed with open arms. There will be landing activities for families to engage in while we all gather at a relaxed pace.

Description: We meet in circle, share gratitude, read a short story & play a movement game. Then the kids lead us on an adventure where I facilitate invitations based on what energy and interest the kids have. Some days have themes around the book, some don't. After ample time spent in imaginary play we come back together in community to put closure on our experience with stories, songs & of course - snacks. This group is super helpful for new moms with 2-3 kids where navigating caring for Mama's body and older toddlers takes a back seat to the needs of the new infant.
