Led by Nature as Medicine leaders Barbara Walker, PhD, and Kelly Lyle, MHA, MS, this weekly, 1-mile accessible walk supports physical activity, stress reduction, and mental clarity during the workday.
When: Weekly on Tuesdays from12:15-12:45 p.m.
Where: Meeting/Starting Location: Lobby by BlaCk Coffee in the Blood Cancer Healing Center (3232 Healing Way, Cincinnati, OH 45229) with free, on-site parking available in the attached garage. Bus stop (lines 51, 46, 36) available in front of the building (3229 Burnet Ave, Cincinnati OH 45229).

This walk is intentionally designed as a time to nurture well-being together – to move, slow down, share conversation, strengthen community, and remember that caring for ourselves and each other can be simple, restorative, and meaningful.
