FORESTS IN MOTIONA Celebration of International Forest Day.
The forest moves. It breathes. It connects. So do we. We are the forest.
Now, more than ever, gathering and connecting face-to-face is an act of solidarity. This event is a
chance to come together, connect, and share ideas in a world where in-person community is more
important than ever. Come as you are, and leave with a sense of belonging, re-connection to
nature, and a spring in your step!
Join members of the Youth Initiative Program for a day where movement, ideas, and community
intersect —an immersive program designed to allow people to meet and bring us back to the
roots. Come together with people who want to create change, celebrate nature, and build a more
connected world.
Saturday March 22nd @ Open Source Arts.
