The spirit of the Snow Moon lives in the cold
and plays on the snow;
it dances on the wind that caresses your face,
and it opens your heart to all things possible.
Walk slowly through the forest in in the deep quiet of a winter night. Let the spirit that dwells there envelop you and bring you peace, comfort and a renewed energy for life.
Wear footwear suitable for winter trail walking and dress appropriately for whatever the weather might be. Bring hiking poles if you have them. All ages are welcome with the understanding that this is a silent, meditative experience.
Because this is an after hours program and the arboretum will be closed to the general public, please plan to arrive a few minutes early as the gates will close promptly at 5:00 PM.
