Prepare to celebrate female friendships and the quiet of the outdoors during an upcoming Galentine’s Healing Hike on February 15, 2026! This event focuses on honoring the strong connections between women, practicing self-care, and experiencing the restorative effects of a walk in natural surroundings. We will explore the lovely Conestee Nature Preserve, following the Yellow and Pink paths. It’s a straightforward 3-mile circuit, situated a short distance from downtown Greenville, making it easily accessible for everyone. No prior hiking experience is necessary; this is a simple path designed for appreciating the experience together, suitable for all physical conditions.

The main point of our walk will be a pause at the viewing platform. Here, we will stop to appreciate the beautiful scenery, rest, and spend time writing in our journals. It’s an ideal moment to consider the positive aspects of our lives and connect with ourselves within the peaceful environment. Whether you aim to strengthen current friendships or simply seek a period of restorative calm, this hike provides a beneficial mix of social interaction and renewal. Join us for a day filled with laughter, mutual support, and the straightforward pleasure of being present outdoors with other remarkable women.

For those planning to attend, note the date for the hike, February 15, which begins precisely at 10:00 AM. We will gather at Conestee Nature Preserve, located at 840 Mauldin Road, Greenville, SC 29607. If using GPS, the coordinates are 34.779554, -82.353463.
