New Year Guided Hike Around Lake Elliott

January 3, 2026 | 1:00–3:00 p.m.

Begin the New Year surrounded by stillness, beauty and fresh air at Maryville Retreat Center. Wintertime in the Woods invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and embrace the quiet grace of nature with a guided winter hike around scenic Lake Elliott.

As snow dusts the trees and the lake reflects the peaceful rhythm of the season, you’ll be invited to slow down, breathe deeply and set healthy intentions for the year ahead. This gentle, guided walk is suitable for all ages and offers a perfect opportunity to reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.

After the hike, warm up indoors with light, healthy refreshments and fellowship, carrying the calm of the outdoors into the comfort of community.
