Welcome to ‘The Gentlemen’s Nook’, a monthly men’s group designed to inspire connection, curiosity, and a sense of fun. This group is all about exploring new ideas and shared experiences- whether through conversation, creativity, movement, or play. 

Land Snorkeling
Thursday, September 18
10am
Meet outside the Bistro

Join us for a refreshing walk as we practice land snorkeling- the art of slowing down and noticing the beauty around us with curiosity and wonder. Just like snorkeling through a reef, but on land. This mindful walk invites you to explore your surroundings with fresh eyes, paying attention to colors, textures, patterns, and tiny details often overlooked. No flippers needed, just a sense of presence and adventure! You must be able to walk independently without staff assistance.
