When you know what matters most to you — what you actually value, not what you think you should — every decision becomes clearer. Every fork in the trail has an answer.

This month's Trail Magic Hike takes that idea out of the journal and onto the trail itself. We'll walk through Stratton Open Space with intentional stops, using the landscape as a mirror for the places in our own lives where our values want more attention.

Trail Magic refers to the unexpected acts of kindness and connection that happen on the trail. These small group hikes are built on that spirit — led for women, by women.

• A closing moment at the summit — naming one value you're committing to this month
• Walking conversation — paired or open group
• Space to be exactly as you are on the trail

 What to Bring

Come as you are and take what you need.
