Moonlit Mindfulness: A Spooky, Batty Experience

Thursday, October 17th

(Peak illumination of the Hunter’s Moon)
6:30-7:45 pm CT
Franklin Park at Roe Ave & Somerset Dr, Prairie Village, KS 66208
Meet at the parking lot off of Roe Ave in front of the picnic pavilion (look for The Resilient Activist signs)
Rain Date: Friday October 18th, same time

 

Join local bat enthusiast and The Resilient Activist board member Briana Anderson for a bat-watching walk in the park. Learn about the importance of bats and what we can do to support them as we search for bats flitting amongst the trees.

As the full moon rises, The Resilient Activist board member and founder of Mindfulness in the Heartland Amy Zoe Schonhoff will lead a meditation on the significance of the full moon, the transition into autumn, and our connections to our batty friends.

Bring a water bottle, jacket, and a camping chair if you have one. The walking trail is paved and suitable for wheelchairs, restrooms are located right by the picnic pavilion, and water fountains are available. Kids are welcome, as long as they’re able to stay quiet for the meditation. 

Contact Briana Anderson at briana@theresilientactivist.org with questions.
