Mommy and Me Nature Walk
Reclama invites you to celebrate Mother's Day with our first Mommy & Me outdoor event in Central Park. Join us for a leisurely nature walk, recharge, and connect with like-minded moms and little ones in the tri-state area!
It boosts endorphins, reduces stress and helps keep you present. By allowing ourselves to be unapologetically spiritual in a place like the outdoors, we honor and affirm how we take up space in the world.
The peace you get from being out on a hike naturally leads to personal reflection because your mind is super clear and you’re tapped into your highest self. Writing in this state is a powerful way to connect with yourself and what you want out of life. Once the pen hits the paper, anything is possible.
Spiritual freedom as we unapologetically take up space in nature, self-esteem on point, nature high that lasts about a week, inner peace, remembering who the fuck you are, feeling grounded, deep connection with nature, appreciation for ancestral land a.k.a. Pachamama, self-revelations through journaling, and the sassiness to stand in your power. You’ll always walk away from a hike feeling better than how you came in.

Mood: Spring is here and we will be celebrating the beginning of a new season.
Type: (Beginner) We’ll be going on a very chill walk for about 2-3 miles.
GPS Coordinates: Exact location will be disclosed via email.

10 AM - 10:30 AM: Welcome/Smudging
10:30 AM - 12:30 PM: Walking in Central Park/Grounding Workshop/Tea & Snacks
12:30 PM - 1:00 PM: Head back to meetup spot
Includes:
Spiritual guided hike by yours truly
Reclama journal and gel feather pen
Energy cleanse with ethically-sourced Sage
What you pack: Bring your own snacks and water. I’ll be sending out an email 3 days prior and then the night before all with information on how to prep, what to pack, and where exactly we will be meeting.
Energetic Exchange: For this experience, $44/$55/$66, depending on you, so we’re using the honor system. If you can afford the already reduced price of $66, then dope. If you can’t then $55 or $44 it is! 💕
Time for winter warriors to come out and face the winter head on. You’ll be hiking with other like-minded women of color, all in the name of self-love!
This will be our first hike of 2024.
UPDATE: The weather is feeling WAY more like fall so I put a photo above of the kind of gear we were wearing for our last fall hike last year. Weather hasn’t felt like winter but expect 40 degrees or so.
Benefits: While I love the concept of Valentine's Day, or even Galentine's Day, I believe the most important and urgent kind of love is self-love. We will get into modalities, mindsets, shared experiences, thoughtful tips and more on reclaiming that deep love for ourselves on the hike.
More on Self-Love: It's a journey I've been for a decade after leaving a long-term relationship that wasn't working out. I still remember how that was one of the hardest decisions I had to make. I started to question my own worth because if I really loved myself why would I let someone treat me the way they did. It felt like then or never to walk away and figure out who I really was so I could love that person as soon as possible.
What got me out of bed then was that I had this dream of living on my own, finding a job I loved, traveling with friends and creating a community business. It was most definitely a process but I made all the things I wanted happen for myself and I'm so grateful I did or else Reclama would've never come to be. Every February (we turn 6 this year!) I am reminded of the possibilities despite the current situation, heartache or lack of funds. Todo es posible!
Mood: Adventurous considering it’s a winter hike but it will be worth it. This is how you reclaim your morning, this is how you reset yourself this month. It will not be as cold as past winter hikes. It will feel more like fall but still chilly so definitely layer up. There will be lots of time to chill and hug a tree.
Type: (Beginner/Moderate) This hiking trail is in New Jersey (near the GWB) along the Hudson River, mostly flat, and about 3 miles. Super chill.
GPS Coordinates: Exact location will be disclosed via email.

End 2023 on top of Overlook Mountain in the Catskills with us!
Intention: This hike is about reclaiming how we heal and why nature is so healing. Because if there’s one thing you’ve learned on your healing journey is that it’s a lifelong journey so let’s find a way that speaks to us out in nature. Being in nature helps fosters a connection with ourselves and surroundings, promoting deep mindfulness and an even deeper appreciation of the natural world. Dale, let’s go.
Why?: Because spending time in nature provides a multitude of healing benefits. It reduces stress levels, alleviates symptoms of depression, boosts mood, and improves cognitive function. Nature's diverse elements strengthen the immune system contributing to faster healing and recovery.
About the trail: (Moderate) The Overlook Mountain Trail is said to be one of the most popular hikes in the Catskills. But what really caught my eye was how nature has reclaimed an abandoned hotel on the trail. The mountain backdrop is going to be worth the trek up. Check this blog out if you want a play by play. Plus, the trail is only 15 minutes away from Woodstock in case you want to get a bit to eat in town after the hike.
Distance: 4.5 miles

Refunds are not available but you can transfer your ticket to someone else or another one-day retreat this fall. If it rains, the hike will be rescheduled for the following day. If it rains the following day, then it will be rescheduled for the following weekend, again depending on the weather.

If you’ve never hiked in the Hudson Valley in New York, now is your chance. This is the perfect time to catch those fall leaves and colors from beautiful summit views, plus this hike is public transportation friendly. Not to mention a bit moderate at first with some rock scrambles to keep your glutes honest.
Intention: This hike is about reclaiming our connection with our ancestors. From our grandparents to the ones we never got to meet. Even if you have never done so or haven’t in a while, you will walk away knowing one way to communicate with them in nature through writing. Join us. Don’t miss out.
Why? Because nature serves as a bridge to our ancestors, connecting us to our heritage. Ancestral landscapes and sacred sites in natural settings allow us to understand our roots. Nature's elements and symbolism play a role in honoring and communicating with our ancestors. It holds ancestral knowledge, enabling us to reclaim teachings and wisdom. Nature also provides a healing space for ancestral wounds, fostering reconciliation and a deeper connection to our ancestral past. Dale, let’s go.
About the hike: (Moderate at first, then easy) We’re headed to Anthony’s Nose trail near Cold Spring, NY where you’ll also be able to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail. If you’ve looking for a hike with a bit of a challenge, then this might do the trick. The first section of the hike is the steep 500-foot rock staircase (takes about 20-30 minutes to go up), then the trail levels out leading to the overlook with the epic views where we will take a break to rehydrate, meditate and journal before heading back. If you aren’t sure about the rock staircase, check out the photo below and/or you can read a play by play here.
Hike level: If you usually workout, you'll be okay. If you don't at all, you will huff and puff a bit but it's only the first 30 minutes. Then, it's super chill.
Distance: 2.6 miles
Public Transportation: If you're coming from NYC, you can take the Metro North train from Grand Central to Cortlandt via the Hudson Line. From there, it is about a 10-minute ride to the trailhead. If you're not down for the walk, you can easily book an Uber or Lyft. I’ll email the exact meetup spot 3 days prior.
Another transportation option: A shuttle is available for $89 RT with our partners at Outerthere. Fits up to 10 and will take you directly to the trail and back. Check out this link to book your shuttle.
Bathrooms: Only on the trains and in Cold Spring. There aren’t any at the trailhead or on the way. So we can find a spot and then the group can help cover you with our backs turned. We’ve done so in the past and you would be surprised how fast like-minded women come through for one another in nature. I also carry a bathroom kit for all the hikers so no need to pack that. I got you.

What does it mean to reclaim your spirituality? How does nature help provide a safe space to connect with our spirituality? How important are labels like bruja or curandera? It's all goin' down at our super chill one-day retreat in the vibrant Hudson Valley this fall.
Ready to scream off a mountain together? Let’s welcome fall with a little releasing and resetting.
Intention: To honor transitioning into a new season and how we work with that energy. Plus, the fall foliage doesn’t hurt either. Look forward to a Grounding Meditation, Earthing, a Guided Spiritual Hike, an energetic cleanse with Sage and/or Palo Santo and a Guided Journaling Session.

Intention: This hike is about bringing the Peruanas in the diaspora together in the name of cultura and community.
Only for Peruanas? Yes, because this is a special event for the community I, Cindy Rodriguez, co-run with Vanessa Ponce a.k.a. Peruvian Chica in NYC called The Peruana Collective created to bring Peruanas in the diaspora together through online and IRL events in the New York and New Jersey area. To learn more about our story, check out our Instagram page with our backstory with more on how to join our comunidad. We’ve co-hosted a hike for TPC in the past and we loved it. Join us!

This will be the last hike of 2022. If we’re lucky, there will be snow on the ground so we can take a chill hike through a winter wonderland and you can see and feel the peace this season has to offer.
Bundle up because we’re going to Bear Mountain in honor of the New Moon. This hike is for those looking for an energizing lift in their soul.

Andrea explores many artistic mediums in the name of healing and creating through Poetic Black Gurl LLC, a black woman-owned business that specializes in personal development.

Spring Equinox is about renewal, resetting and reconnecting with nature as we start to come out of our cozy winter nooks. And back by popular demand is our favorite hiking spot at the Palisades Interstate Park.
Tis’ the season to fall back in love with yourself.
This is going to be a special one-day retreat in honor of our guest author Lorraine Monteagut, PhD. She’s written a much needed book coming out this fall (October 5th) that ya girl is grateful to have been included in called BRUJAS: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color .
There will be hiking, journaling, tea, food, energy cleansing, book reading and signing, Q&A with the author, and a chance to have a seriously open conversation on what it means to be a bruja. Join us.
You can read the opening chapter, right here. And here’s a Q&A with the author from Ofrenda Magazine.
Location: The Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey (right under the George Washington Bridge) Exact location will be emailed to you a week before the retreat
About the book:
There is a new kind of witch emerging in our cultural consciousness: the bruja.
Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. There is a growing subculture of younger witches, led by Afro-Latinx immigrants and indigenous Americans, who are taking up the label to reconnect to their spiritual roots, practice healing arts, and express their politics.
Brujas chronicles the magical lives of these practitioners as they extend their personal rituals to larger self-care and activist movements and use their services to empower young people of color. The bruja represents the new “witch” of the United States, a practitioner who melds ancient tradition with new technologies and mirrors the diversity and activist spirit of today’s youth.
Brujas reminds us that witchcraft is more than a trend—it’s a movement.

We’ll watch the sunrise over the New York skyline view from the Jersey side and then head out for a moderate hike down by the Hudson River.
About the trail: (Moderate) The trail starts off from the top and then we’ll work our way down the Palisades where we’ll see the Peanut Leap Cascade. The steps can be a bit steep so please note, this hike is not for beginners. You must have recent experience hiking, hiking boots, and a flashlight.
Mood: Adventurous considering it’s an early hike but it will be worth it. This is how you reclaim your morning, this is how you reset yourself this month.
Distance: 3 miles
GPS Coordinates: Exact location will be disclosed via email.
