The practice of noticing and sketching at the park
Hello fellow designers!
This time we're practicing the art of noticing at Giardini Montanelli (Porta Venezia park). We'll wander, slow down, and capture what catches our attention through sketching, photography, writing, or whatever medium feels right to you.
Bring your sketchbooks, pens, pencils, cameras, or just your eyes and a curious mind.
After exploring, we'll gather at the café in the park to share what we noticed over a coffee.
Let's immerse ourselves in the park together and see what it has to teach us.

**Your Safety Matters**
1. Your well-being is my highest priority. While I create a safe and supportive environment, please remember that yoga is a physical practice and, like any form of movement, carries a risk of injury.
2. By choosing to participate in my yoga events, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk and take full responsibility for your body and your practice.

Post-Technical Data Practitioner - Impulses and Conversation
Don't forget to get your ticket on Eventbrite to register for the event: https://www.eventbrite.it/e/post-technical-data-practitioner-impulses-and-conversation-tickets-1988266535731
Data practitioners (Data Scientists, Architects and Engineers, AI/ML Engineers and Strategists, etc) are changing the world, bringing machine learning and AI models to life, building the recommender systems that influence what we buy, watch, and listen to, and deciding how companies use the data they have about us. Our roles as data practitioners now have an impact beyond the immediate technical work we do. We believe it's time to reconsider our understanding of ourselves and our role to meet the growing influence our work has on our companies and society at large and to remain relevant as the technical aspect of our work becomes more automated. We call this the "post-technical data practitioner".
Talk 1: Post-Technical Data Practitioner (Davide Posillipo, Komebi Studio)
Talk 2: Stoic Data Scientist Framework (Rachel Berryman, Common Digital)
Speakers:
Rachel Berryman is an AI and Data Strategist based in Berlin. Rachel focuses on building responsible AI systems, primarily in the energy sector, and writes a substack on making better data solutions: [commondigital.substack.com](http://commondigital.substack.com/)
Davide Posillipo is a Data Scientist and co-founder of Komebi Studio, a design studio dedicated to exploring the intersections between Data, AI and Design. During the last 4 years he focused on Data Engineering, Deep Learning and Machine Learning leading an R&D team for an Italian consulting company. He serves as member of the Advisory Boards of the Product-Service Systems Design (Politecnico di Milano) and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (Università degli Studi di Milano) master degrees courses.

From here, our hike will begin, leading us along a beautiful trail surrounded by vegetation to the summit of Monte Bolettone (1,317 m), where we will enjoy an incredible view over Lake Como and the entire Brianza area.

Trails & Ales! Blendon Woods Metro Park / Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery
**History**
The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville.
Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people.
As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support.
The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts.
In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area.
**Map of the Park**
Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png).
**Summary**
For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks.
**Where We'll Meet**
We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center.
**After the Hike**
Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.
