SUMMARY:Cyanotype Inspired Ceramic Plates
DESCRIPTION:Join Angela from The Nature Atelier for a ceramic workshop that celebrates the beauty of plants. This workshop draws inspiration from cyanotype prints to create functional plates using a variety of plant clippings. Participants will learn how to handbuild plates using pottery forms.

Forest Bathing offers many health benefits from stress relief to immune system and mood support.

Forest therapy is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku\, which translates to “forest bathing.” Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits\, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems\, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition.

SUMMARY:Brainy Birds: Spring
DESCRIPTION:Birds are incredible and have adapted to survive in dynamic & changing environments. Every species has unique traits and sometimes quite specialized strategies. Using the backdrop of seasonal changes at Hoyt Arboretum\, Dr. Kiki Sanford will facilitate discovery of the many ways it is connected to its avian inhabitants. Winter classes will center on adaptations for surviving intense seasonal conditions. Spring brings the frenzy of breeding season. Summer includes juvenile development and the onset of the next annual cycle. And\, Autumn classes will focus on the fall migration. Each seasonal class will highlight the various birds present in the Arboretum\, and include observation & discussion of specific aspects of how their brains & bodies lead to certain behaviors useful in the Hoyt habitats. Short informal lectures and group discussions will be followed by exploratory bird-watching hikes to observe these processes in action. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Queer & Trans Community Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Experience a guided forest bathing walk through Hoyt Arboretum’s unique tree collection and forested areas. Forest Bathing (also known as Forest Therapy) offers many health benefits from stress relief to immune system and mood support. Forest therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. Forest therapy is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku\, which translates to “forest bathing.” Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits\, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems\, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition. We build on those benefits and look beyond\, to what happens when people remember that we are a part of nature\, not separate from it\, and are related to all other beings in fundamental ways. Note: Please only register for this workshop if you identify as queer or trans. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi for Better Balance
DESCRIPTION:Many tai chi moves use images from nature—stable as a pine\, flowing like a river\, hands moving as clouds. Enjoying tai chi in the Arboretum allows us to connect deeply to that imagery.

This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Rediscovering Green: A Watercolor Wander Among the Trees
DESCRIPTION:Think green is just… green? The forest has a few tricks up its leaves. 🍃 Join this playful\, hands-on watercolor workshop where we’ll explore the many moods of green—from mossy and muted to bright and electric—right in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Hosted by Friends of Hoyt Arboretum\, this experience begins with a relaxed introduction to color theory\, where you’ll paint a watercolor color wheel and mix your own custom greens. Then we’ll step outside and wander into the arboretum\, sketchbooks in hand\, to capture the incredible variety of greens found in leaves\, needles\, ferns\, and more. Whether you’re a watercolor beginner\, a tree enthusiast\, or just looking for a fresh way to connect with nature\, this workshop invites you to slow down\, observe closely\, and maybe even turn over a new leaf in your creative practice. You’ll leave with new painting skills\, a deeper appreciation for the forest\, and a whole new way of seeing green on your next hike. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.
