Euchre Tournament

Winter Euchre Tournament: While it is cold outside, why not see if you have the hot hand and join us for a Euchre Tournament on February 22nd? Every 4th Saturday when we play we're usually unstructured and you just show up. But since this time we'll have some structure, heavy snacks, and light prizes (of course, no prize can beat bragging rights) will be on the line this time, we need you to sign-up that you are coming just this time. No partner? No problem, we'll be doing round robin style play trading both partners and opponents throughout the evening so competition is individual anyway. 

Plan to come around 6:15 on February 22nd to check in and grab some snacks and we'll start play around 6:30. 

You can use this link to sign up. You can also email Dan Mueller with questions or to sign up.

 Can't make it on February 22nd? Join us any 4th Saturday of the month for regular euchre.

 Hope to see you then!

Forest Bathing

Are you stressed?  Would a good meditation or walk in the woods help you with serenity?  How about combining these in Forest Bathing?  Join with other women and let a trained Forest therapy guide lead you through her wooded acres in a guided experience, immersing yourself in the natural world, connecting with some inner peace. Ellen has been doing forest therapy for years and will provide it as a service to us.

This will be on a gentle trail, moving slowly, some sitting, a little standing meditation, lots of nature. An easy event on the body.

We hope you join us on Saturday afternoon, May 24th for this about 2-hour experience.  The location is near the Cincinnati Nature Center - the address will be sent to those who RSVP. S
