Join Through The Trees Collective and Columbia Slough Watershed Council on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 19th for a special BIPOC Nature Immersion Workshop aligned with the Fall Equinox which occurs a few days later on Sunday, Sept. 22nd.
During this session, we will discuss and learn ways to honor the upcoming seasonal changes happening in both the natural world and within ourselves. We’ll begin the evening with an ancestral grounding circle, connecting with the wisdom of those who walked the land before us. Next, we’ll embark on an easy hike around the arboretum, taking in the cyclical shifts that come with Fall, all while reflecting on our own transitions and cycles of life. Finally, we'll close out the evening with a short, guided meditation to center and prepare ourselves for this next season of change.
We hope you will come foster connection, reflection, and renewal as we align with the rhythms of the earth!
This session is held in partnership with the wonderful folks of Through the Trees Collective.
It is also the final event in Oregon Walks' Black to Nature Series - which explores Afro-Ecology based walks rooted in self-determination and spiritual connection to the earth.
