Join birder Chuck Stebelton the second Sunday of each month (except October, when the walk is on the third Sunday) for a small-group, socially distanced bird walk on the grounds. Keeping to the perimeter of the garden, we’ll watch for seasonal migrants and resident bird species and seek out the best bird habitats to identify as many species as we can. Please dress for the weather and plan to walk in varied terrain. Bring your binoculars if you have them; no previous birding experience required.

Join Lynden's Robert Kaleta on a walk around the grounds to learn about Wisconsin's own edible tree nuts and how to identify, harvest, and process some of nature's delicious fall offerings. You will learn all you need to know to begin or continue your foraging endeavors, as well as the tools and techniques required to keep you busy processing your harvested nuts all winter long.

Masks and social distancing required. This walk takes place outdoors and will proceed if it is raining, unless there is lightning, in which case the walk will be rescheduled.

Then, we'll return to the patio to design your one-of-a-kind rustic aromatherapy diffusers Finally, you will select from a variety of therapeutic-grade essential oil vials, blended by Jenna, to take with you and finish final assembly at home.

The new moon marks the first lunar phase and can symbolize new beginnings in our life. You can use the energy of the new moon to set intentions, get clear on your goals, or begin a new project. Join artist-in-residence Jenna Knapp to celebrate the new moon with a healing sound bath followed by a labyrinth walk. Take some time out of your week to relax into a healing sound bath and identify your intention for this new beginning. Then, physically plant your intentions into the native Wisconsin prairie by participating in a meditative seed scattering labyrinth walk where you'll support the growth of the labyrinth's walls with your powerful intentions. Native Wisconsin prairie seeds that are already growing in the labyrinth will be provided.

Sound baths are an ancient form of deep meditation; they include various ambient sounds playing in a space where you can hear and feel their vibrations. Your sound healer for the evening will be Milwaukee’s own Sevan Arabajian-Lawson (Cat Ries), initiated by Akhilanka of the Temple of Singing Bowls in Mysore, India. The sound bath last approximately 45-60 minutes. Please bring your own yoga mat, blanket, or towel to rest on for the duration, and dress appropriately for the weather.
