Summer Welcome Walk
What better way to welcome the longest day of the year than by stepping into summer together? Join Buds on the Move for a Summer Welcome Walk as we soak up the season's full arrival — the warmth, the energy, and all the good things that come with the sun staying out a little longer.
We'll gather at The Travel Agency's SoHo location, where our walk will be fueled by Myhigh, and take a moment to set the tone for the season ahead. Before setting off, walkers will be invited into a mindful reflection activity — writing down one thing you're leaving behind as summer begins, and one intention you're calling in for the months ahead.
From there, we'll stroll together toward the West Side Highway, letting the golden hour light and easy movement carry us, and end at Nelson Rockefeller Park. Once we arrive, we'll sprawl out on blankets and settle into a low-stakes, optional sharing circle. A space to reflect, listen, and dream forward with your buds.
This walk is all about arriving fully into the season — open, grounded, and ready for whatever summer has in store 🌞
Registration Required!
