SUMMARY:Fall Strolls Program
DESCRIPTION:Deepen Your Connection With Nature\nStrolls for Well-Being is a complimentary seasonal program at Bloedel Reserve that supports connection with nature through a series of 12 self-guided walks. \nWe invite those interested in deepening their connection to nature to join\, and no experience or special knowledge is needed. New participants receive a guidebook with instruction and inspiration for 12 distinct mindfulness-based walks through the Reserve. Each walk is built around a theme such as joy\, awareness\, or gratitude\, and the walks are designed around locations within the Reserve. \nParticipants become part of a small group that meets three times during the program\, for an orientation\, mid-point check-in\, and closing meeting. The meetings provide an opportunity to hear from others and share experiences. \nAfter the orientation meeting\, people in the program will receive a guidebook and be ready to begin. The program is designed to be self-paced\, and participants choose when and how to engage with the walks. Everyone in the program receives a complimentary 6-month membership to Bloedel Reserve\, which provides Timed Ticket entrance when booked in advance. \nFall Strolls for Well-Being Program: September 13-December 9\, 2023 (12 weeks) \nRegistration for the Fall Strolls for Well-Being program will open on August 14. Please sign up for one of the orientation meetings here in order to be registered for the Strolls for Well-Being program. \nDue to the popularity of this program\, participation in the Strolls program is offered to NEW participants only.

SUMMARY:Creative Residents Taha Ebrahimi and Allison Kudla Workshop
DESCRIPTION:November Creative Residents Taha Ebrahimi and Allison Kudla Workshop\nJoin collaborating Creative Residents Taha Ebrahimi (author of upcoming book Street Trees of Seattle) and artist Allison Kudla on an in-depth guided tour and treasure hunt for leaves in the peak of their autumnal beauty that will become the raw materials for a collaborative art piece. \nThursday\, November 9\, 11 AM-1 PM \nMaps have long been used to shape dominant perspectives of places\, spaces and people. By design\, maps also discount the intangibles of lived experience and biases in the practice of cartography and data collection itself. Participants will be provided a hand-drawn map and a leaf collection bag\, inviting them to take a break from their digital world to embrace an analog\, inexact approach to finding and identifying specific trees at the Bloedel Reserve. \nThe fallen leaves collected by participants will then be used as the material for a companion piece created by Allison Kudla. She will share a method that intersects computer-aided design\, laser cutting and traditional leaf preservation techniques to create a collective representation of the algorithmic design of leaf venation patterns from the collected leaves. Each journey becomes the material of the work\, challenging the notion of uniform representations of time and experience. \n$10 with admission to the Reserve \nMeet at the Arrival Garden for your walk. \nTICKETS
