Voyager: Interstellar Time Capsules – 7/18/26

Send messages to aliens and design your own Voyager Golden Record!

 

The Voyager probes were launched in September 1977 and included greetings, music, images, and sound that hopefully will be picked up by aliens like a message in a bottle. If you were to send a letter to our neighbors in the stars, what would you send? Join us as we design our Golden Records and write our own interstellar messages.

Pour Painting

Forest Bathing – 7/18/26

Forest Bathing (also known as Shinrin-Yoku) is not a hike, fitness walk, or naturalist-led program – instead, it is a unique opportunity to slow down, awaken your senses, and connect with the natural world in nourishing and meaningful ways. Through a series of gentle invitations by an ANFT Certified guide, you’ll have the chance to deepen your relationship with the land and its inhabitants, as well as share in that experience with others.

In addition to feeling more grounded, calm, and peaceful, when practiced regularly, Forest Bathing has been shown to support overall well-being, including reduced stress, lower blood pressure, improved sleep, enhanced creativity and focus, and even a decrease in anxiety and depression.  Many people also find that they begin to experience familiar parks and forests in new, surprising, and deeply personal ways.
