Explore nature in the Connecticut countryside

Experience ancestral awakening practices while hiking in the great outdoors with a guide from THE WELL at Mayflower Inn. Practices such as walking through the forest like a fox, listening like a deer and seeing like an owl are portals to feeling fully alive. When the mind engages in nature's five elements, it invites connection to different aspects of the self; Earth: grounding, Water: creativity, Fire: personal empowerment, Air: self compassion, and Ether: self-expression. Like meditation, Forest Bathing fosters relationship, connection, and the joy of being in the mystery of nature.

Embrace our four-seasons hiking experience as the scenery evolves with the varying temperatures. Explore the Connecticut Northwest Highlands and its native fauna and flora. Spot beavers exiting a river canal carrying woody branches in their front paws and listen to waterfalls and flowing rivers around a bend.
