Walk with Wonder - Hike in Cootes Paradise | Sept 17

Take a midweek pause to reconnect with yourself, others, and nature. Join the Live Awake Outdoor Circle on Wednesday, September 17, from 3:00–4:00pm, beginning with the Walk with Wonder Hike in Cootes Paradise. Afterward, you’re welcome to stay for an optional social from 4:30–5:00pm.

This event offers space to slow down, reflect, and recharge. Through movement, creative activities, and mindfulness practices, you’ll explore tools to support personal discovery, gratitude, stress relief, and living with intention. Together, we’ll enjoy a peaceful walk, noticing the little things that bring joy and perspective, while setting aside the stressors of the day. Please dress for the weather, as the event will take place outdoors (weather permitting).

This event is part of Open Circle, a welcoming student community at McMaster that provides safe, respectful spaces for reflection, personal growth, spirituality, mental health, and leadership. Open Circle offers Reflection Circles and Courses, mindfulness practices, and opportunities to volunteer in Hamilton alongside other students. By joining, you’ll connect with peers who are also seeking meaning, balance, and belonging.

Spaces are limited, so register soon at: http://opencircle.mcmaster.ca/events.

Come walk with us, find joy in the moment, and reconnect with what matters most.
