Sunday, November 9th
10 am - 12:30 pm
Broughton Beach, Portland, OR
$5 parking fee

  • Just north of Portland International Airport, a gentle slope of yellow sand meets the shores of the Columbia River.
  • Officially named “Broughton Beach” after British Lieutenant William R. Broughton (the first European to sail up the Columbia River), this sandy beach is surrounded by big sky views.
  • If it is a sunny day we will have a view of Mount Hood and will definitely experience close-up underbelly views of descending planes as they land at the airport.
  • It can be windy by the water, more windy than outside your own house, so wear your layers and windproof gear.
  • We will meander along the beach and make our way up to a sandy path. We will have that walking-in-sand experience which is it's own type of challenge that works different muscles than our city streets.
  • We make our way up to a multi-use path where the river parallels on one side of us and the exciting coming and going of airplanes are visible to us on our other side.
  • With minimal and little elevation, this hike is considered easy.
  • We will dance our Nia Somatic Movement in a spacious flat-top sand dune overlooking the Columbia River before looping back to our start.
  • Nia Somatic Movement is gentle, 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 …

🔥 this is a community event and there is no charge. FREE! 🎈
