Featured activities:

Yoga in the Park: Ease into the day with a 45-minute community yoga session designed to wake up the body and mind. The session includes accessible stretches, breath awareness, and light movement to prepare you for a bike ride—or just to enjoy a grounded start to your day. Led by Niki Scarpa Cohen of Spirit of the Lake Yoga ⬈ and volunteer water steward, this class invites connection to self, community, and nature.  10 - 10:45am.

Suminagashi: Join local artist Kim Boustead to learn the ancient art of Japanese water marbling. Suminagashi, meaning “floating ink,” is created by dropping ink onto water and transferring the design onto paper. It is a meditative, artistic process dating back to the 12th century, known for creating organic, intricate designs. 11-2pm.

Cycle the Creek: Join us for an 11-mile bike tour along Bluff Creek. At stops along the way we’ll discover new things about Bluff Creek, the work the watershed district is undertaking to keep it clean, and what you can do to help. Registration is required. 11-12:30pm.
