Upcoming Hikes:

Hiking Group Update

As the rainy season settles into the Pacific Northwest, our hiking group will be taking a seasonal pause. We are grateful for all the wonderful adventures, conversations, and connections shared on the trail this year!

We'll be back with a special Holiday Lights Hike in December*, offering a festive opportunity to gather, enjoy the beauty of the season, and connect with our Unity community.

And don't forget our beloved Winter Solstice Celebration at Temple Beth on 12/21. Fallen fir boughs will be gathered and created into a spiral of greenery illuminated by candlelight, symbolizing the return of the light and the promise of renewal as we enter the darkest days of the year. It is a beautiful, contemplative tradition and a meaningful way to welcome the season.

Be sure to check back in December for details on both events. Until then, stay warm, stay dry, and keep exploring the wonder all around you! 

Happy trails, and we look forward to gathering with you again soon.

Who we are:
