Winter Solstice Night Hike

A Sensory Night Hike Through Nature, Myth & Mystery

Join Mike Evans of Forgotten Skillz for a magical journey through the longest night of the year, where the mysteries of nature meet the myths, legends, and traditions of the winter solstice.

Follow the moonlit trails of the Preserve as the scents of winter drift through the air. Along the way, we’ll share stories inspired by ancient traditions, explore the celestial wonders of the winter sky, and discover how cultures around the world have celebrated the turning of the seasons and the promise of returning light. As we wander, we’ll awaken our senses to the subtle sights, sounds, and signs of life that surround us. Through engaging activities, guided observation, and storytelling, we’ll explore the remarkable ways nature adapts to the cold and darkness and discover the hidden rhythms of the living winter forest. Come explore the longest night of the year and the timeless connections between the Earth, the stars, and the people who have gathered beneath them for generations.
