Release yourself to the forest on this, the longest night of the year.
There will be no sunlight to guide your journey.
There may be no moonlight or starlight to show you the way.
But you will have your senses and the light of your spirit.
Use them.
Let the night envelop you and teach you
that you can be the light to dispel the darkness.
Come out to Klehm for a guided walk through the woods that focuses on breathing, using your senses, meditation, and reflection. All ages are welcome with the understanding that this walk will be a silent, reflective experience. Wear footwear suitable for trail walking in the woods, and dress appropriately for whatever the weather might bring. You are welcome to bring trekking poles if you wish.
Because this is an after-hours program and the arboretum will be closed to the general public, please plan to arrive a few minutes early as the gates will close promptly at 6:00 PM. Group size will be limited, so register early to be sure to secure a spot!
Please note that this walk will take place in the dark with small jar lights to guide your way.
In the event of severe weather, you will be notified of any changes via email and/or phone.
