    Join Ana Huston for weekly mindfulness sessions Sundays 4 - 5:30pm, where you will practice present moment awareness and establish a meditation practice.

    Enter from the entrance at 166th Ave NE / 85th Ave SE and walk a few minutes in on the trail (map). Contact Ana at ae1031_at_hotmail.com if you have any questions.

  • Free Nature Sketching Class

    We love the new Hooven Forest map drawn by local artist and neighbor Nicole Monahan.

    As a way of continuing her support, Nicole is offering a free nature sketching class the last Sunday of each month.

    The next one is Sun Aug 31 at 4pm - meet at the entrance off 170th (map).

    Contact Nicole at nicole_at_ monahanstudio.com if you have any questions.
