Hike and Contemplation in Deer Grove Forest Preserve

(Following the new CDC recommendations, we'll go maskless as long as we maintain social distance.)

A different kind of Mother's Day

Some of us aren't mothers. Some of us don't have mothers nearby. Some of us have mothers we dearly miss. Some of us don't particularly like our mothers. Others of us don't particularly like our kids (or just need a break from them). Celebrate Mother's Day by enjoying Mother Earth.

We’ll meet in the Deer Grove East parking lot at 3:00 PM. (Park in the last parking lot, we'll meet at the trail head which is at the very tip of the parking lot) We'll start with introductions and center ourselves with a spiritual reading. Part way into the 2.7 mile hike we'll share in a contemplative practice. As we hike, we'll split into two groups - those who want to talk, and those who would like to walk with others but in silence.

At the end of the hike, we'll share a closing reading and then head back to our days, renewed and reconnected with what matters.

If you realize that you can't come, please cancel your spot.
