Sunday, 12/27: 🥾 hike.🎧Nia.☔hike @ ~ Sauvie Island/Warrior Rock Lighthouse

Sunday, December ~ 9 am - 1:30 pm
Sauvie Island ~ Warrior Rock Lighthouse Trail, OR

• Let's meet @ 15000 NW Sauvie Island Rd. (on your left) This is a free parking lot, great for carpoolers to Sauvie. We will carpool the remaining 1/2 hour drive from this lot to our trailhead.
• Cracker Barrel Grocery Mart (not affiliated with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc) is just one click up the street a bit from our carpool lot and has $10 one-day parking passes or an annual ODFW Wildlife Area Parking Permits for purchase. Each vehicle continuing onto Sauvie will need a permit to park.
• This event is posted from 9am till 1:30pm, a whopping total of 4 1/2 hours due to the 1/2 drive to and fro the carpool lot on top of our hike itself being over 6 miles. (longer than our typical hike.Nia.hikes)
• We will trek a lengthy 6.1 mile out-and-back-long-flat-easy-trail which runs parallel to the Columbia River. Across the river to the NE is the confluence of the Columbia and the Lewis River... wow! ... that's cool.
• It will be fun to find the Sauvie Island Warrior Rock Lighthouse trail where we can dance our Nia by the lighthouse, with the breeze of the river, on a pretty little cove.
• 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. No prior experience necessary.
• 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 & please pack a snack. (this is a longer hike than we usually post... Tony is very strong but he does not want to have to carry you out and I don't want to share my sandwich!)
• Bring your full 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! 🎈
