What is the LifeTrail Hikefulness experience?

Hikefulness is a natural feeling you receive after hiking for a while, that encourages the mental, physical and emotional connection to everything around you. The flora, wildlife, other hikers and yourself.

Hikefulness brings you to the present and to take responsibility organically that both be challenging and bring you peace at the same time.

The LifeTrail Hikefulness experience always empowers participants to build independence and resilience. Hikes are a mentored hiking experience rather than a tour.

There is a focus placed on self physical, mental and emotional awareness. A right balance of education, community, silence, guidance and space when needed.

Knowing when to move forward and when to rest and reflect, is essential to managing stress and becoming more prductive during daily activities like school or work.
