Nature can heal better than any physician, they say. The collective Saha Togetherness will seek to find out more with a walk down Yeoor Hills trail for individuals on the neurodivergent spectrum, come June 29. “We have previously conducted similar walks down the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) trails. This is our first walk down the new trail in Yeoor Hills. There are no inclines or declines on this trail, so it is fairly simple for mobility and balance,” shared co-founder Jalpa Mehta (inset). Open to neurodivergent children and adults, the walk is an effort to boost their confidence in exploring the outdoors. “We are inviting parents to the session as well, since a new trail can often be a challenge for children. The lush environs, presence of creatures, and new sounds can sometimes be overwhelming. The presence of family helps to create an environment for them to enjoy and learn during the walk,” she explained. In addition to introducing participants to natural wonders and fauna, the session will also let them enjoy the flowing water, courtesy of he early monsoon. “Such walks help boost the confidence of participants. Some of them are coming on their own, so it enhances their sense of independence,” Mehta told this diarist.
