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 11-November 23\, 2024 (12 weeks) \nRegistration for the Fall Strolls for Well-Being program opens in mid-August on our website here. \n

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Mindfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness Meditation–SOLD OUT\n“If we surrendered to the earth’s intelligence\, we would rise up\, rooted like trees.”\n–Rainer Maria Rilke \nNature\, meditation\, and poetry…Nature provides the perfect setting for us to connect; to ourselves\, to the earth\, and to each other. Meditation is an invitation to practice compassionate awareness and acceptance of who we are and what is.  And poetry can inspire us\, can move us to discover something about ourselves\, the earth\, and all that dwell on it. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Bloedel Reserve\, participants will be lead in a mindfulness meditation in the Japanese Guest House incorporating poetry that speaks to the wisdom inherent in nature\, and in our very beings. \nJoin us in the Japanese Guest House the first Wednesday of the month\, March through December. Sessions begin at 10:15 AM and will last 45 minutes\, including pre and post gathering and discussion time. Please dress comfortably and plan to meditate for 20-30 minutes\, seated in a chair. \nCost is $15 and includes admission to the Reserve. Donations for admission are gratefully accepted on pay-what-you-wish Welcome Wednesdays. \nSOLD OUT

SUMMARY:Writing Workshop with Creative Resident Ella Jacobson
DESCRIPTION:Thirteen Ways of Beginning: A generative writing workshop with Creative Resident Ella Jacobson\nThis workshop is for writers of any genre who want to generate new material\, experiment with different writing styles\, and integrate different types of play into their process. \nUsing a variety of rapid-fire writing prompts\, we’ll practice generating beginnings. We’ll look to poems\, music\, and letters for inspiration. This practice will be useful to anyone who is on the hunt for new writing projects\, who wants to explore different genres\, or who is curious about what might happen when they write with a different set of expectations in their head. \nThen using prompts that\, weather permitting\, will take us outside\, we’ll write longer pieces that students will have the option to share with the group. We will also save time to discuss how people find their topic and tone for a piece of writing\, what people can do when they feel stuck\, and how to build a writing process around writing prompts. \nThis workshop is open to all writers of any genre and experience. Writers who are currently working on a project are welcome to apply these prompts to their current project. \nPlease wear clothes that will allow you to be comfortable outside. Unless there is rain\, participants will have the option to spend part of the workshop outside.  Please bring: a notebook or paper and a writing utensil. \nWHERE\nBARN (Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network) \nWHEN\nSaturday\, November 9\, 11 AM – 12:30 PM \nCOST\n$10 \nRegister through BARN here. \nLearn more about Ella here.
