Nature Walks

Nature walks take place twice per week and are an integral part of life at Orchard. These guided outings invite clients to step outside the centre and reconnect with the natural rhythms of Bowen Island.

Walks vary each week and may include peaceful loops around one of the island’s lakes, forest hikes beneath the canopy, or unstructured time on the beach to reflect, breathe, and reset. The focus is not on speed or distance, but on presence, observation, and gentle movement.

Spending time in nature supports mental clarity, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. These walks offer space for quiet conversation, personal reflection, and grounding, helping clients reconnect with their bodies and surroundings as part of a balanced recovery journey.
