Plants of the East Bay: A 4 Season Immersion

**Register here, NOT on Meetup: https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule**

Recommended for those who want to connect deeply to the ecosystems and seasons of their home, this plant-centered program invites us to witness the seasonal rhythms of the land by returning to the same trails four times throughout the year. Together we’ll walk the landscape as it changes, observing how native plants, animals, and ecological patterns shift through their cycles of emergence, growth, decay, and renewal. By learning to truly notice these changes over time, we begin to build relationships — not just with plants, but with place itself.

Throughout the year, we’ll explore native plant identification and medicinal uses while honoring the unique rhythm of our Bay Area climate: the bright emergence of spring, the fullness of summer, the release of autumn, and the return of green with the winter rains. Each gathering will also include guided reflection, journaling, and exercises for deepening relationship with the seasons while tapping into a more rooted sense of home. As we walk, we’ll ask: What does it mean to truly know a place? Through quiet attention, seasonal return, and curiosity, this program becomes more than a class — it becomes a practice of belonging.
