SUMMARY:What Are Trees Thinking?
DESCRIPTION:A Forest Workshop in Tree Intelligence and Connection\nTrees communicate\, respond\, make decisions\, and even cooperate with one another. Recent research confirms what many of us intuitively feel—trees are aware and alive in astonishing ways. In this unique workshop\, we’ll explore the intelligence of trees not only through science\, but through direct experience. After choosing a Tree Transformation Card to guide your focus\, you will practice qigong\, helping you shift into the quiet\, connected state where communication with nature becomes possible. As we walk among the trees\, we’ll explore what it means to sense the forest’s perspective. What do trees know? How do they respond to you? What might they want to share? You will have hands on instruction to experience this directly from the trees. Join us for a deep dive into the presence and wisdom of trees—and come away with a renewed sense of belonging. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Say Hey! With Partners in Diversity
DESCRIPTION:We are collaborating with Partners in Diversity for their next Say Hey! event. Say Hey! is the largest multi-cultural networking event in Oregon and southwest Washington. Each quarter\, Partners in Diversity connects local businesses and community members with professionals of color who recently relocated to Oregon or southwest Washington. Recently relocated professionals of color (aka Honorees) are introduced during a special portion of the program. We help build community\, deepen connections and create an environment where everyone is welcomed. Employers can leverage this program as an extension to your onboarding experiences for new staff of color. A study on workforce retention commissioned by Partners in Diversity and released in 2020 showed that having a strong\, supportive community is an important element in retaining professionals of color in Oregon and southwest Washington. Say Hey! is free and open to professionals of color and allies. Please note this is a 21+ event.
