Join us for a slow afternoon of poetry and nature along Cascade Creek.

After a brief welcome and introduction at Garden Party Books, we’ll take a short walk to the nearby Cascade Creek trail, where we'll pause to experience sensory invitations inspired by selected poems from Mary Oliver’s beloved collection, Devotions.

The walk concludes back at Garden Party Books with tea, light snacks, and quiet conversation.
