Sensory Walk

?Listen to the sound of leaves scrunching under your feet. Listen to the sounds of the city. Listen to the sounds of the water. Listen to your own footsteps. ? Feel what’s under your feet. Feel the temperature around you. Feel the texture of trees or buildings. Feel the water or ground. ? Look at the different colors around you. Look for what changed this season. Look at neighborhood murals or light on the water. ? Smell the air around you. Smell pine trees. Smell the water. Smell fires in the area.? Taste the air as you breathe in and out. Taste a beverage when you return home.

1) Locate an area to explore. This can be a path, a park, a place near a river, lake or ocean, or just around the neighborhood.
2) Distance with a friend. For both community and safety you might want to bring a friend on this adventure, or at least tell someone what you’re doing and where you’re headed.
3) Engage your senses. See examples of ways to engage your senses.
4) Share with others. Post on the LU Spirit Space Facebook or Instagram page about how you engaged in the sensory walk.
