11/30/25 Sunday: hike.🎧Nia.⛅hike @ Washington Park / Hoyt Arboretum

**Sunday, November 30th, 10am-1pm**
**Washington Park / Hoyt Arboretum hike\~Nia\~hike**

* We will meet up @ the Vietnam Veterans of Oregon Memorial across from the parking lot @ 10:00am. Parking is fee based @ $5. They are strict about it, please pay for parking as to avoid a ticket. I have a zebra striped pack, shoulder length brown wavy hair & always a hat.
* Expect an easy **3 to 4 mile hike** through towering evergreens and many other trees.
* We will meander some trails with the goal of reaching the Wedding Meadow, where we will practice our ***Nia Somatic Movement***. The Wedding Meadow is a peaceful, grassy setting surrounded by stately conifers and fringed with white-blooming shrubs like snowberry and ocean spray.
* ***Nia*** is gentle, fun, inclusive, healing, move-at-YOUR-own-pace & in YOUR body's way. It is about what it **FEELS** like, not so much what it looks like, y'all.
* We use headphones (provided), handsfree mic, radio transmitter & iPod technology!
* Please wear clothing you like to move in and bring **hooded rain gear** (when applicable) to protect the headphones.
* Bring your full **water** bottle.
* Consider having a protein breakfast beforehand and packing a snack to bring with.
* If your intention to attend changes, pretty please change your **RSVP** status on MeetUp to "Not Going" as soon as your plans change. I have limited sets of headphones and would love to avoid "no-shows" from excluding others who wish to join. THX.
* Please avoid asking others on a date during this event. My intention is to foster **safe space** to meet new people, hike, dance and FEEL the music. Please respect your fellow attendees. I remove members who aim to "pick-up". Please let me know if you are ever made uncomfortable by another during an event.

We would LOVE to have you join us …

🔥 this is a **community event** and there is no charge. FREE! 🎈
