Centered on connection\, reflection\, and time outdoors\, each hike offers space to notice how the environment—an d your relationship to it—shifts over time. Inspired by exhibition\, “Topographies: Mapping Being and Belonging\,” the series considers how movement through place shapes memory and meaning\, with a simple\, option al creative reflection following each walk. \nFor each hike\, we’ll gath er as a group at Jester Park in Polk County to wander the park’s trails and discuss the different art pieces featured in the park’s prairie\, be fore wandering individually for an independent phenology practice meant to encourage reflection and observation. The practice of phenology\, returni ng to a place at different times of year to notice the changes in the land scape\, is a grounding exercise meant to connect yourself to the landscape and hone skills of observation. You’ll find a special-to-you location a nd have time for whichever form of reflection you prefer\, like drawing\, journaling\, photography or sensory intake. \nREGISTER \n$12 registration per session\, attendance at all sessions not required\; need-based scholar ships available. All genders are welcome.\nSeptember 9 is the third and fi nal hike event in this series.
