Among Trees: A Mindfulness WorkshopEvent is Full: Accepting Wait List Registrations
Although much of the North Carolina Piedmont’s forest habitat has been altered, or eliminated, for housing, commerce, and highways, we remain, in a sense, forest dwellers. This workshop is an opportunity to deepen our awareness of trees and forest ecosystems at a time when the Piedmont forest is waking up from winter. This workshop will take place in a North Carolina Botanical Garden natural area (place TBA). After an introduction to the forest ecosystem, we’ll use techniques derived from forest bathing, mindfulness practice, and prompt writing to explore and share our kinship with the forest.

Penny's Bend: A Half Day Field TripEvent is Full: Accepting Wait List Registrations
Penny’s Bend Nature Preserve is an 84-acre site that protects numerous rare plant species. It is surrounded on three sides by the Eno River in eastern Durham County, North Carolina. This half day field trip will include a visit to distinct plant communities including a remnant Piedmont prairie, rich mesic and alluvial forests, and dry shortleaf pine-dominated bluffs. Rare species found on the Preserve include the smooth purple coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), eastern prairie blue wild indigo (Baptisia minor var. aberrans), hoary puccoon (Lithospermum canescens), and Dutchman’s breeches (Dicentra cucullaria).
Much of this hike is on primitive trails over uneven terrain, with one short, steep climb up from the river. Wear sturdy hiking footwear and bring insect repellent, water, and a walking stick, if you ever use one.
