Reconnect with Nature through Mindful Outdoor Sessions
Growing up surrounded by the natural beauty of the Slovenian Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Carmen Joy developed a deep connection to the healing power of nature. Since moving to California in 1986, she has explored the diverse landscapes of Southern California.
Carmen invites you to return to the healing embrace of nature through personalized sessions in the great outdoors. These guided experiences include grounding practices, breath awareness, healthy sun exposure, and mindful movement designed to restore balance, vitality, and presence.
Each hike is tailored to your pace, experience level, and intention. With a calm, grounded presence, Carmen weaves in silent hike meditations and nature-based reflection to help you reconnect with yourself, the land, and the present moment.
From flower-lined trails and rolling hills to mountain peaks, beach walks, or waterfalls, these experiences invite you to slow down and reconnect. Along the way, there’s room for heartfelt conversation - whether you’re deepening your breathwork practice, reflecting on your journey, or exploring tools for more mindful living.
Locations include: Santa Monica Mountains, Santa Susana Mountains, San Gabriel Mountains, and Los Padres National Forest.
