On select Sundays, we gather for a gentle walk at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. This is a slow, accessible outing focused on noticing the season as it changes. We will meet at the same spot, the parking lot in Sellwood park. Please use this location, as multiple entrances to the refuge exist.

We’ll walk at an easy pace along flat paths, pausing to listen for birds, notice water and plant life, and spend a little time being outside together. Some months may include optional journaling or reflection prompts; some months we’ll simply walk.

For January, the theme is Moving Gently into the Year. We will focus on breath, moving slowly, and building routines.
