Night Sky Programming

"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." - Carl Sagan

There is nothing quite like standing under the Milky Way or gazing up at the Full Moon from the top of a hill. Carl Sagan, the late great astronomer, said, "Astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience."

Similarly, using all of our senses to listen for the "who cooks for you?!" of the barred owl or being immersed in a symphony of spring peepers and wood frogs reminds us of the interconnectedness of life on our planet.

After sunset, our programs include options for Night Sky Walks, Full Moon Hikes, Stargazing Nature Therapy, Guided Night Sky Meditation, and nocturnal & crepuscular naturalist walk programs.

Our Night Sky Programs

All of our night sky programs last one to two hours and often include walking for at least one mile. Always dress warmly, even in summer.

Our Full Moon Hikes are programs that are open to the public, though registration is required. See our event page for registration information.

Nocturnal (and Crepuscular) Naturalist programs are available as a standalone or as part of a retreat or other overnight program.

Our backpacking programs always include Night Sky Immersion and Forest Therapy components.

Accessible and youth-oriented programs are available.
