SUMMARY:Luminous Together Forest Bathing Walk
DESCRIPTION:What is Forest Bathing? Forest Bathing is Forest Therapy\, or Shinrin-yoku\, a Japanese practice that has garnered attention for its ability to immerse people into their natural environment. It helps people take a deep breath and rediscover our true essence\, to remember our purpose and how we can serve the world. By immersing ourselves in nature and engaging our senses\, we can reap the many benefits of forest therapy such as improved immune function\, cardiovascular and respiratory health\, and reduced stress and depression. However\, these benefits are simply a byproduct of the deeper healing that occurs when we re-establish a connection with the natural world around us. \nLuminous Together Forest Bathing Walk: \n\nCome back to your Self and immerse in the serenity of the forest.\nGuided by a certified forest therapy guide\, this journey invites you to slow down\, breathe deeply\, & awaken your senses.\nMove slowly & dwell in the present.\nExperience simple practices that heighten awareness.\nPause with the group for contemplation & sharing.\nFollow the wisdom of your body\, heart\, mind\, & spirit.\n\nAbout Your Guide: Bea Yeh (she/they) is a certified forest therapy guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and has been crafting community programs for over a decade. Bea is a certified yoga teacher\, mindfulness facilitator\, and wilderness adventure guide. Bea is Wilderness First Aid\, First Aid\, and CPR certified. They hold a MS in Arts Administration and Museum Studies with a specialization in nontraditional learning environments\, community focused programs\, and healing-centered engagement. She is the proud multiracial child of immigrants and refugees\, grateful to call the PNW home for over 20 years\, and honored to craft a life at the intersections of art\, nature\, magic\, healing\, and revolution. \nLocation:\nWildwood Recreation Center\n65670 US-26\nWelches\, OR 97067 ($5 Parking fee) \nTickets will be on a sliding scale to help us cover the cost of the event. \n  \nLink: https://bark-out.org/event/luminous-together-forest-bathing-walk-2/ \n

SUMMARY:Parrott Creek Restoration Day
DESCRIPTION:Bark is partnering with the Cultural Ecology Program at Parrott Creek to restore an 80-acre site in Clackamas County\nThe Parrott Creek project site is under the leadership of Ameyalli Mañon-Ferguson who is the Cultural Ecology Program Manager for Parrott Creek Child and Family Services in Oregon City\, OR. Here\, she leads the stewardship of the 80 acres of mixed coniferous forest\, creeks\, wetlands\, and grassland prairie at their youth residential treatment program site. This program serves highly traumatized adjudicated male youth as an alternative to incarceration\, providing one-on-one and group therapy\, drug and alcohol counseling\, an on-site school and personalized treatment plans to build the skills they will need to go back into the community. As part of her role\, Ameyalli engages these youth in the outdoors\, partners with Indigenous community members and organizations\, and collaborates with environmental organizations and agencies. The combined effort and community engagement in this program work towards the ultimate goal to restore the land to be a culturally and ecologically functioning site by centering traditional ecological and cultural knowledge. \nBy leading restoration through an Indigenous stewardship lens\, prioritizing traditional ecological knowledge and service to the local Indigenous communities\, the Cultural Ecology Program demonstrates a dedication to Indigenous peoples beyond land acknowledgment statements. \nThis land site will provide Indigenous people a safe place to gather natural resources such as first foods\, medicines\, and basketry materials\, connect with the land\, and engage in environmental stewardship. Such opportunities are unfortunately limited as people are either restricted from gathering or don’t know if it is safe from waste\, pollution\, and chemicals. This is especially true for those living in the Portland metro area and other urban communities with limited access to natural areas. Through its priorities and approach\, this program works towards simultaneously addressing trauma held in the youth\, the Indigenous community\, and the land. \nJoin us to help restore this incredible space! We will be planting native plants\, protecting young plants\, removing invasives and doing trail maintenance\, depending on the day.  \nTime: 10am-1pm \nLocation: 22518 S Parrott Creek Rd\, Oregon City\, OR 97045 \nBring: All-weather gear\, long pants\, sturdy shoes (rubber boots recommended but hiking boots ok)\, rain gear\, sunglasses\, water\, snacks (some snacks provided). \nWeather forecast: NOAA Weather Oregon City. We will cancel the event if the weather is expected to be below 35 degrees OR very rainy. \nParking: Weekend events: Once inside the main entrance\, turn left and down the hill to park in the large parking lot. Look for Bark signs. \nWeekday events: Due to ongoing construction\, please park along the side of the road leading up to the entrance. You must wear a safety vest and hard hat while walking across the construction site to where we will be working. If you’re late\, please contact Meg to have someone meet you at the entrance with a vest and hardhat. \nAccessibility: Events will be light rain or shine! However\, if there is heavy rain or temperatures are below 35 degrees\, we will postpone or cancel the day. \nThis event will be focused on removing invasive plants! Invasive removal days will be a 4-5/5 accessibility with bending\, squatting\, digging large roots (often blackberry)\, handling thorny plants\, carrying materials. Each site will require walking/standing on steep hills which may be slippery and/or require crossing a small stream on a flat log. \nQuestions?  Need to carpool? Email Meg@Bark-Out.org \n  \nLink: https://bark-out.org/event/parrott-creek-restoration-day-4-12-2025/

SUMMARY:Using Colonizers: Botanical Prints
DESCRIPTION:Let’s take an in-depth look at the history of some highly invasive local flowers. We’ll look into why they were introduced\, what ways they’ve impacted our PNW environment and how we can use them responsibly. When we remove their flowers from the environment\, we can prevent seeds from forming and therefore future spreading. \nThis will include all the materials you need to create a printed tote bag. If you want to bring some personal blooms to experiment with\, you may! \nInvasive flowers to prioritize: Scotch Broom\, Butterfly Bush\, Clematis \nThe location of the workshop itself will be indoors at Bark’s Office at 351 NE 18th Avenue\, Portland\, OR. 97232. This event will be classroom-style learning so bring pencil and paper if you want to take notes. Gender-neutral restrooms will be available. \nThank you! \nQuestions?
