About this Event
Interwoven: Family Twilight Trek

Interwoven: Family Twilight Trek presents the opportunity for Special Operations Forces families to slow down and view their surroundings with curiosity and wonder. Join The Station Foundation as we venture to the beautiful Norfolk Botanical Garden for this evening program.

The Station will discuss the mindfulness attitude of A Beginner's Mind. Adopting this attitude enables one to recapture the sense of excitement, curiosity and childlike wonder of trying or learning something new. Participants will walk away with a better understanding of how to approach the most routine activities with a fresh perspective. To introduce this concept, children (ages 4+) will decorate a pair of binoculars, equipping them with a tool to view their surroundings through a new lens. They will then dissect an owl pellet, bringing awareness to what is noticed when we slow down and become curious. Families will also enjoy a 40 minute guided tour through the Norfolk Botanical Garden at dusk. Join The Station for an evening of connection, curiosity, and appreciation of the beauty of nature.
