Start the New Year with Intention
At Reclama, we’re embracing winter’s slower pace and welcoming 2024 with rest, reflection, and movement that aligns with the season. Join us for a slow and intentional hike on Saturday, January 25, where we’ll honor the beauty of winter while creating space to reset.
Why This Hike Matters
Winter’s a time to slow down, take a deep breath, and reconnect with yourself. By the end of January, the holiday chaos has faded, and it’s the perfect moment to ease into the year at your own pace. We’ll take a mindful hike together, letting nature help us reflect on what we’re ready to let go of and what we want to grow in the months ahead.
Fun Fact: Walking and Your Brain
Did you know that daydream-like walks can help rewire your brain? According to neuroscience, letting your mind wander while moving through nature boosts creativity, reduces stress, and strengthens problem-solving skills. It’s like giving your brain a refreshing reset button!
Special Ritual: Letting Go to Move Forward
As part of this experience, bring a small paper with something you’re ready to leave behind in 2024. During the hike, we’ll hold a meaningful moment to burn these papers in nature, symbolically transmuting old energy into fuel for new intentions. This sacred ritual will help you move forward with ease, intention, and a lighter heart.

WHY HIKE?
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.
WHY JOURNAL?
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.
SIDE EFFECTS OF HIKING WITH US INCLUDE:
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.
