Mindful Beginnings
Mindful Beginnings is a monthly outdoor meet-up for new and expecting parents to connect and share in community with fellow parents. Led by certified doula and childbirth educator Kassie Leachman, each gathering includes a gentle walk on local trails and a chance to share experiences with fellow parents. Babies are welcome—carriers are encouraged!
We meet on the third Wednesday of each month from 10:00–11:30 am, rotating locations to explore different outdoor spaces. During the winter months, we’ll cozy up at local coffee shops for warm conversations and continued connection.
Each month, we’ll feature a different nature trail as a meeting spot for a relaxing walk and time together in nature. Interested in joining us? Join the email list: https://theallianceforec.org/upcoming-events/2025/9/17/mindful-beginnings-4lnzg-nxyjh-5rbf5-ahjc9
