Mt Tabor Park is a gem of natural beauty in southeast Portland. We have a variety of activities and opportunities for engaging with the park and with others in the community. Come and pull weeds with Weed Warriors, or join a Foot Patrol to help keep the park free of litter. We also have an education program called the Urban Nature Series, where you can learn about native plants, history, geology, and more.

Silent Meditation Walk
Sat, Sep 12 · 10:00 AM PDT
Mount Tabor Visitors Center, SE Park Dr, Portland, OR, US

(Further information about the event will NOT be shared via Meetup.)

Join Maria Loebach for a guided meditation walk. This experience offers a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and step out of the busy-ness of daily life.

We’ll begin by gathering at the Visitor Center with a short introduction and grounding practice. From there, we’ll move into a gentle, mostly silent walk with simple prompts to guide your awareness. We’ll end with time for quiet reflection and optional journaling to help integrate your experience, followed by optional sharing.

This is a relaxed and supportive space to reconnect with yourself, notice what’s present, and find a sense of calm and clarity.

No prior meditation experience is needed. Suitable for anyone comfortable with a gentle walk through the park.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 13, when Friends of Mt. Tabor Park will host the first annual Tabor Day, a new community celebration in the park's amphitheater from 12–4 pm.

This family-friendly event will bring together the people who make Mt. Tabor what it is, including our members and soon-to-be-members, our volunteers, and our neighbors.

Expect refreshments, tables from neighborhood partners, a talk on the park's history, and more for what we hope marks the launch of a new tradition.

Tabor Day is free and open to everyone, members and non-members alike, so bring friends, family, your neighbors, pets (on leash of course), and anyone else who loves this park as much as we do.

NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED, JUST COME ENJOY MT. TABOR AND THE COMMUNITY.

Part of the free Urban Nature Series
Lead by Rick Sany

We'll walk to several areas in the park and talk about the general biological characteristics of park trees and their cultural history. Trees have been used for a variety of purposes including food, medicine, construction, and beautification. They've also been the source of major conservation issues and restoration programs.
