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.

SUMMARY:Ikebana International Chrysanthemum Show
DESCRIPTION:Ikebana International (Portland Chapter #47) celebrates the chrysanthemum in this special\, two-day only exhibition in the Yanai Classroom. Ikebana International first celebrated Kiku Matsuri\, the Chrysanthemum Festival\, at Portland Japanese Garden in 1983. Local ikebana artists from various schools\, or styles\, will create arrangements featuring chrysanthemums\, known as kiku in Japanese. Ikebana\, a Japanese artform\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.

SUMMARY:The Essential Shift
DESCRIPTION:There is magic in the forest—in the trees! Step away from the demands of your busy life and the noise of the world. Come into the quiet wonder of the forest\, where trees offer a grounded welcome. When you meet a tree and feel the same life force moving through you both\, something inside remembers—you are home.  The to-do’s and the worries fade away. This workshop is created for you to quiet the chatter in your mind and experience an essential shift to the present.   For most people\, this pivotal shift happens more easily in nature. Flora will guide you through Qigong movements\, Tree Transformation Card readings\, and other practices to assist in this essential shift. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum\, and registration is required through their website.
