About us
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.

Guided Meditation Walk
Mount Tabor Visitors Center, SE Park Dr, Portland, OR, USPlease register here to sign up and receive event details.
(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.
