Slow Hiking

We are Jacqui and Kevin Price, a husband and wife team, and have been running our small eco-campsite retreat in theMaiella National Park of Abruzzosince 2012. From our personal explorations and as hiking guides, we have a wealth of experience and an intimate knowledge of these hills and mountains.Jacqui is aForest Bathing+ Guide, trained and certified by The Forest Bathing Institute (accredited by the Complementary Medical Association). She is deeply conversant with the science behind the practice of Forest Bathing, is amindfulness and meditation guide, and a mental health first aider. These combined skills and knowledge ensures that all our locations and programmes, will have been carefully selected and planned to provide the maximum benefits, to both mind and body, for all our participants.Whichever session you join us on, you will be introduced to some truly beautiful parts of this stillwild and untainted natural landscape within the Apennines of Abruzzo. Our aim is to gradually slow you right down, bringing your focus into your surroundings in such a way that you develop a deeper connection with nature. Focusing on nature in this way allows the mind to settle into stillness and the body to be at peace and to rest. Our groups are small, to amaximum of 10 participants, which means each person can enjoy their own space, or connect with others as they wish, forging friendships and sharing experiences.
