SUMMARY:Surrender & Soften: Mini Wellness Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for an opportunity to release your over-stimulated mind and over-taxed body? Take some time for yourself at our mini wellness retreat at Hildacy Preserve. Come gather with others in a safe and nurturing environment to help release unnecessary stress and renew your spirits. \nDuring the session\, Christina Fittipoldi will lead us in a gentle yoga practice\, accessible for all\, and breathwork to support self-awareness. \nIf the weather permits\, we will explore the beauty of Hildacy Preserve with a moving meditation connecting us to nature to soothe our souls. \nWe will finish our morning with a sound bath with singing bowls played on and off the body for deep relaxation and grounding offered by certified vibrational sound practitioner Mindie Hung. The singing bowls grant the mind the opportunity to disconnect and turn inward. \nAbout the instructors: \nChristina Fittipoldi: Completed a 200-hour vinyasa yoga teacher training in May 2015 and began teaching a wide variety of asana movement at multiple studios. Eager to dive deeper\, she completed the 300-hour teacher training at Main Line Yoga Shala in December 2019 entitled “Agni Moksha.” She enjoys guiding students mindfully through safe and responsible movement using body and breath awareness\, allowing students to journey within. \nMindie Hung: In 2017\, she became a certified vibrational sound therapy practitioner with the Vibrational Sound Association after her own healing journey began while experiencing the power of sound healing. Since then\, she has had many clients report a deeper sense of connection to self\, feeling more relaxed\, sleeping better\, and improved overall well-being. Some benefits of sound healing include improved mental focus\, reduced stress and anxiety\, and improved mood.

SUMMARY:Annual Nesting Bird Census - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:This event is cancelled. Please join us for a future event! \nGrab binoculars and join us in counting birds at Mariton. Since 1981\, staff and volunteers have conducted an annual nesting bird census to count the number of species and individual birds breeding at this 200-acre preserve. \nThe census results serve as an important tool to help assess habitat management strategies. Healthy habitats sustain various nesting species\, including flycatchers\, tanagers\, thrushes\, and warblers. Mariton’s woodlands are particularly important to birds like the Wood Thrush\, which requires large forests for nesting.

SUMMARY:Fungi Foray with Philly Myco Club
DESCRIPTION:Join Philadelphia Mycology Club’s Kevin Popowich for a Fungi Foray along the trails of Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary to discover and uncover the wonderful world of mycology. Together\, we’ll explore the steep slopes of Bougher Hill overlooking the scenic Delaware River and see what mushrooms and other fungi we can find. \nWhat is a foray? Different than foraging\, which is the pursuit of only edible species\, forays are a survey of the mushroom diversity in an ecological landscape. We will adhere to Natural Lands’ Leave No Trace policy and not remove any mushrooms or other plant material from the preserve. \nBefore we start hunting for mushrooms\, we’ll congregate for a brief introduction with an informational handout. This program will cover identification\, safety\, look-alikes\, and resources to help you continue your fungal adventures. \nAbout our partner: A Philadelphia-based nonprofit\, Philadelphia Mycology Club’s mission is to study\, collect\, and document fungi; to foster accessibility\, diversity\, and inclusivity through educating the community on fungi; and to steward the land and advocate for fungal conservation. They work with other environmental groups in and around Philadelphia to provide free and accessible mushroom guidance in an urban setting and to work towards common goals of environmental justice.
