We spent the entire day exploring the beautiful Texas Hill Country and learning about the natural environment and its abundance of plants and wildlife. We were lucky to have Mike DiMauro, of the Earth Native Wilderness School, as our expert guide. We learned so much and really came together as a group. It is amazing how much connecting with nature can heal the soul and increase confidence. Â Check out our photos below!
