À propos
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine the sound of leaves moving in the wind, the sound of the river, the rhythm of your own breath. This is where Forest Meditation begins—with intention, sensory awareness, and an invitation to land in the moment. As you move slowly through the forest, each step becomes an intention, each breath an invitation to receive and share with the living world.
Guided by Chantal Garneau, municipal councillor, meditation artist, and skilled facilitator, this experience blends forest bathing, mindfulness, and a philosophy of interconnection. It offers a way to feel grounded and uplifted, relaxed and renewed, all at once. It is not about striving, but about remembering: you already belong.
As part of the 10th anniversary of Culture Days, we are re-releasing the Becoming Present in Halton Hills digital meditations. Originally created during COVID, this program invited visitors to access site-specific guided meditations through QR codes posted at local trailheads, or to listen online. In 2021, Chantal and the Town of Halton Hills were recognized as Ontario Culture Days Award Runner-Up for Best Digital Program for Becoming Present in Halton Hills.
Now, these meditations are available once again—downloadable through Spotify or by scanning QR codes at Willow Park.
This guided meditation series launches on Sept 26 at 6 PM and will remain available throughout Culture Days.
Come as you are. The river and forest will meet you there.
