Edgewood Village offers Weekly Winter Walks in Roger Williams Park through June 20, weather permitting. Meet at the park’s Botanical Center parking lot at 2:30 PM, for a social and rejuvenating walk. Walks last one hour and are on paved surfaces, with gradual hills.

The Edgewood Village is a neighbor-based membership organization, a local village of The Village Common of Rhode Island. The goal is support older neighbors in order to remain independent at home as we age. We welcome new members and these weekly free walks are a great glimpse into this local chapter. All are welcome to join! More information can be found on Edgewood Village’s website.

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!

Roz shares some of their favorite memories spent at Roger Williams Park (including actual swan encounters!), the full-circle experience of writing and touring NOVA ONE’s latest album, “how to kiss”, building community around music, and more!
