Our roots run deep—through our ancestors, our family stories, and the spiritual and cultural traditions that have shaped us. But reclaiming those roots isn’t always a straight path. It’s a journey of remembering, unlearning, and reconnecting in ways that feel true to us.
Join us on Saturday, September 13, in honor of Latinx Heritage Month, for the Reclaim Your Roots Hike, a walk dedicated to exploring where we come from—both in the literal and spiritual sense. As we move through nature, we’ll hold space to reflect on the people, lands, and traditions that made us. Whether it’s through the wisdom of our elders, the language of our ancestors, or the spiritual practices that call to us, this is about rediscovering and reclaiming what feels like home.
We’ll hike, journal, and hold space for storytelling, connection, and reflection. However you show up, this is your time to ground yourself in who you are, honor where you’ve been, and step forward with intention.

About the hike: 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 30-45 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.

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.
