Hockley Hikes is led by Veronica Munoz who is a Certified Sivananda Yoga Instructor and Nature lover who inspired by the beautiful surrounding in our Hockley Valley Natural Reservation Area decided to invite all who wish to join in partaking in the benefits of simply taking a stroll, a hike, and a peak at the most wonderful and magical picture of all: the one created by Mother Nature.

p>Veronica has been walking and hiking for most of her life reaping the health, physical and spiritual benefits of being in the great outdoors. She used to bring groups from the big city to visit conservation areas and walk many of the great trails Ontario has to offer until she was called by the beauty of the Hockley Valley area to move along with her family and settle along the waters of the Nottawasaga River.

Nature has inspired Veronica to choose a natural path of life with eco-friendly choices such as embracing a living-foods raw vegan diet and becoming a Yoga Instructor in an attempt to align her practical life with her values and eventually felt called to invite others to feel and experience the benefits of being close to the wisdom that Nature can so well whisper as we stroll along her welcoming and embracing arms.

She soon discovered that often some of us feel intimidated rather than welcomed, afraid rather than safe and secure, and tight rather than free, when experiencing nature by ourselves. Thus, she decided to create a safe environment for people to reunite themselves with being comfortable in nature providing a safe and peaceful way of gathering people to walk through that inner-challenge hand in hand; and in so doing to rediscover the wonderful gift of peace, quite, comfort and the invigorating boost of confidence and health Nature has to offer to each and everyone willing to embrace it.

Veronica has made it her goal to facilitate this transition of a wide range of groups of people feeling at ease hiking and walking in nature, being in the woods and absorbing the fresh air the great outdoors has to offer.

If you are one of these people who would love to get closer to nature but might be afraid to do it on your own, perhaps a mom feeling vulnerable with your new bundle of joy, or a woman feeling exposed and apprehensive to go out by yourself or a senior too scared to get hurt while hiking; this could be a great opportunity for you to cross that bridge which can bring you right on track to walk by Nature’s side.
