The weekend starts Friday evening at 7pm with an inspirational lecture by renowned author Faith Kearns, who leads us in conversation around how we can address our fears about pressing conservation issues and communicate openly about solutions through relationship and community building.

Saturday includes a catered breakfast followed by a guided nature hike with staff member and wildlife biologist Margaret Boeger. During the hike, you’ll enjoy a light picnic lunch at Three Tree Hill overlooking the beautiful Geysers. The late afternoon will be spent immersed in a nature art activity with local educator and artist Kaesa Enemark. The day concludes with a catered dinner at the lovely Dwight Center, and stargazing at the Hume Observatory with California Academy of Sciences’ Astronomer, Bing Quock.
