It’s YOU time!

You spoke and we listened. We are thrilled to offer refreshing new changes to our Autumn 2019 Week of Walks (formerly known as the reBOOT). Here’s what we have for ya:

See schedule overview below but for any walk over 60 minutes, we will have 2 Elements guides. Therefore those who want to move fast for heart pumping exercise, we got you and will lead the way. For those who want to slow down to ‘smell the roses’ we are all set for you too.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday we have scheduled 60, 90 and 120 minute walks. So if time is restricted join our shorter walk or unlimited, hoof along on a longer walk. You have options and room to roam. Full Week of Walkers can come on all the walks!
On Wednesday, we are offering an all day hike in the mountains of Virginia ( approx 60 minute drive time). We want to get farther afield and take advantage of the majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River Valley.
And drum roll. . . .too busy to commit to the Full Week of Walks, than register for just the walks or hike that suit your schedule. We welcome you for one or all of our Week of Walks Autumn adventures.
Lastly, some things should never change.
- We will always offer really unique, ‘off the beaten track’ routes
- . . .and yet again, we are matching our Autumn Week of Walks schedule with Little Green for the Autumn seasonal, guided cleanse. So while moving your body on the Elements walks and reviving the spirit with lots of fresh air, you can nourish the body too with the support of Little Green. Register for Elements Week of Walks and receive your $20 discount code with Little Green.

This is our best Week of Walks yet and we can’t wait to share all the treasures of the trail and talents of our vibrant community with you.

We would love if you would encourage your friends to join but rest assured, whether solo or with your friends, you will leave each Elements experience stronger, wiser from the conversation (and quiet) and grounded.

Every day you will receive an Elements email with the nitty gritty details of the upcoming walks as well as wisdom and inspiration from the trail.

$125; Full Week of Walks (any or all of our 16 walks and hike)
$25: ‘Walk A La Carte’: choose the individual walks that suit your schedule.
