HANNIBAL, Mo. —Hannibal Parks and Recreation is offering “Grateful Among the Trees: Embracing Nature’s Blessings,” an immersive experience designed to reconnect people with nature, at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 29, in Riverview Park.

Participants can engage in this serene practice that promotes mindfulness, relaxation and overall well-being, all set against the stunning backdrop of Hannibal’s historic park.

Gale Rublee, a nationally certified interpreter guide with more than 25 years of experience in outdoor education, will lead the program.

In a press release, Rublee said, “As the busy holiday season is upon us, let’s take time to slow down and appreciate being among the trees. Being in nature is known to have many health benefits. Let’s open our senses and quiet our minds as we enjoy being outside. We will walk along one of Riverview’s paved trails with the option of going into the woods for a short solo sojourn.”

The walk will begin at the picnic tables at the east end of Frisbee Field before the Turtle Island Overlook.

Registration for the program is available on the Hannibal Parks and Recreation website, www.hannibalparks.org.
