Sunday, August 17th: 🌤️ hike.🎧Nia.😎hike @ Guy W. Talbot Park/Latourell Falls

Sunday, August 17th, 10am - 1:30pm
Guy W. Talbot Park/Latourell Falls, Corbett, OR

• Latourell Falls is the closest of the major Columbia River Gorge waterfalls to Portland, and it's also one of the most photogenic. A tall single-plunge waterfall of 224 feet, it spills over the lip of an undercut amphitheater of tall pillars of columnar basalt. An eye-catching splash of chartreuse-colored golden cobblestone lichen (Pleopsidium flavum) adorns the upper amphitheater and contrasts with the dark basalt walls.
• We will hike approximately 4.5 miles or so on some easier and some steeper trails. This is technically a hike~hike~Nia, as we will dance in a grassy field close to the parking area after our hiking loop.
• This hike is by far one of my favorites. I love the fern-filled lush forest trails, the waterfalls, the foot bridges and the open picnic area where we will dance our Nia.
• Nia Somatic movement is gentle, fun, inclusive, healing, move-at-YOUR-own-pace & in YOUR body's way. It is about what it FEELS like, not so much what it looks like, y'all.
• We use headphones (provided), handsfree mic, radio transmitter & iPod technology!
• Please wear clothing you like to move in and hooded rain gear (when needed) to protect our headphones.
• Be sure to have a healthy breakfast that includes protein & pack a snack perhaps.
• Bring your water bottle.
• If your intention to attend changes, pretty please change your RSVP status on MeetUp to "Not Going" as soon as your plans change. I have limited sets of headphones and would love to avoid "no-shows" from excluding others who wish to join. THX.
• Please avoid asking others on a date during this event. My intention is to foster safe space to meet new people, hike, dance and FEEL the music. Please respect your fellow attendees. I remove members who aim to "pick-up". Please let me know if you are ever made uncomfortable by another during an event.

We would LOVE to have you join us …
