here-ing the seasons: summer

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟭 | 𝟳:𝟯𝟬 𝗣.𝗠. | 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚-𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗨 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Celebrate the changing seasons with us in 2025! Join for the second of a series of seasonal walks, each marking an equinox or solstice. Together, we will walk the 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦-𝘪𝘯𝘨 labyrinth, welcoming each new season with intention and connection to the land.

Visiting the same place throughout the year offers an opportunity to observe change: subtle shifts in color, new growth emerging, the arrival and departure of different animals, the way light moves through the landscape. By grounding ourselves and following the path, we can take this time to notice the beauty of the world around us and embrace the transition of the seasons, quietly and in community.

Every place has its own seasonal rhythm, and after fall and spring burns, this year is the perfect time to begin learning the unique rhythm of the 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦-𝘪𝘯𝘨 landscape together. We will watch plants reawaken, grow, and transform as the year unfolds.

With the arrival of summer, wildflowers bring bursts of color to the 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦-𝘪𝘯𝘨 landscape, drawing in pollinators and other wildlife whose movements and sounds create a vibrant hum of seasonal activity.

Come walk with us!
