September 20, 2025 | BIPOC Nature Immersion: Fall Equinox| 10am-12pm
📍Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge | FREE | RSVP
This walk is a collaboration between Through the Trees Collective, ZEN:MNM and the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 20th for a special BIPOC Nature Immersion aligned with the Fall Equinox, which occurs a few days later on Monday, 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 morning with an ancestral grounding circle, connecting with the wisdom of those who walked the land before us.
On our walk, participants will be encouraged to take 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 day with a short, guided mediation to center and prepare ourselves for this next season of change.
