Intentional Hike Honoring the Day out of Time

Intentional Hike to the Chinese Tribute Bridge
This hike will journey out and back from the Nisenan Tribute Site Trail Head in Nevada City to the Chinese Tribute Bridge. Along its path we will honor the Day Out of Time. In the Galatic Calendar this day, July 25th, is a sacred pause — a mystical, timeless day that falls between the end of the old year (July 24) and the beginning of the new Galactic year (July 26). It’s not part of any moon or week cycle — hence, a day “out of time.” It's considered a day for:

• Forgiveness of the past
• Art, magic, music, and culture
• Peace and global harmony
• Spiritual renewal and celebration

We will begin this hike with meditation and breath-work, pause at the Chinese Tribute Bridge for snacks and water (bring your own) and connect with all the gorgeous nature along the way.
