When it Rains, Look for Rainbows

A mindfulness adventure for families and wanderers on the St. Jacobs trails.

This is a book you don't just read — you walk it. When It Rains, Look For Rainbows is a guided trail adventure through the Mill Race and Health Valley trails of St. Jacobs, broken into 3 parts and 15 stops, each one pairing a simple breathing or mindfulness practice with a hidden rainbow to find along the way. Think meditation meets scavenger hunt.

Each practice is rooted in evidence-based mindfulness psychology, but none of it feels like homework — you're humming like a bee, breathing like a bunny or hugging a tree. It's designed for explorers age 6 and up, solo, with friends, or as a family, and takes anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day depending on how many parts you tackle.

Rediscover the magic of nature. Pause for a mindful breath. Find the rainbows along the way, an adventure for the child in all of us.
