Queer in Nature: Community Sit Spot & Meditation
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Queer in Nature: Community Sit Spot & Meditation Shevlin Park Find solace in nature and recharge, rest, and reconnect with fellow queer folx. This mini forest bathing experience includes a guided sensory meditation, a nature connection invitation to reduce stress and anxiety, and a community circle for sharing and listening in a non-judgmental space.
Forest bathing is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, which translates to “forest bath” and just means to take in the atmosphere of the forest through our senses (leave your swimsuit at home…no literal bathing required!). It is a practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness, and happiness and remembering our connection to nature and each other.
Decades of studies have discovered a wide range of health benefits associated with this practice, including stress relief, better sleep, lowered blood pressure and inflammation, and improved immunity.

Author Book Signing and Discussion: The Resilience Mindset by Terry Healey
5:30 pm – 6:30 pm Author Book Signing and Discussion: The Resilience Mindset by Terry Healey Barnes & Noble, Northeast Highway 20, Bend, Oregon, 97701, United States Join Terry Healey, author, speaker, and executive strategist, to discuss his new book, The Resilience Mindset (publishing September 9th).
For business professionals seeking success and purpose, cancer survivors, individuals with disabilities who feel marginalized, or anyone facing life’s challenges and wanting stronger coping skills, The Resilience Mindset offers an actionable framework to overcome adversity and create a more fulfilling life.
In addition to Healey’s own harrowing story, The Resilience Mindset offers evidence-backed research and stories from others who overcame seemingly insurmountable odds, including paralysis, traumatic brain injury (TBI), severe dyslexia, burn injuries, and other adversities. The Resilience Mindset provides more than inspiration: It provides readers with the tools to build their own survival kits to take on the smallest and biggest obstacles, leading to a more fulfilling life.
A survivor of a life-threatening cancer that left him with a permanent facial difference, Terry Healey is an author, keynote speaker, and business strategist. A graduate of UC Berkeley with a thirty-five-year career as a marketing executive, Terry challenges audiences to face adversity and change, and apply his framework and principles to gain confidence, build resilience, and find joy in their personal and professional lives. Terry lives in Bend, Oregon with his wife Sue. For more information visit http://www.terryhealey.com.

From the piano bar circuit in Switzerland and Ireland to stages across California and right here in their hometown of Bend, Oregon, this duo brings soul, harmony, and heart to every show.
Reno’s musical background is as impressive as it is eclectic. He’s written songs recorded by Johnny Rivers, Jennifer Warnes, and Lobo, and as a Polydor artist, he recorded with members of Supertramp and Thin Lizzy as lead vocalist for the European supergroup “Heads-Up.” He was also a finalist on Star Search with his group The Zippers and served as live musical director for hit shows like Seinfeld and Designing Women.
Raised in Louisiana by his award-winning father, Dick Holler—writer of “Abraham, Martin and John,” “Snoopy vs. the Red Baron,” and “Double Shot of My Baby’s Love”—Reno’s roots run deep. With incredible ear-trained talent, he can play just about any song on the spot. Together with Cindy’s beautiful vocals, they create an unforgettable live experience.

Adventure: Join us for a night of exploration in the Oregon Outback. Our stargazing adventure will take us to Fort Rock, an ancient volcanic tuff ring that rises out of the flatness of the high desert. Each evening will be a different and unique experience! With some evening’s, we will arrive just as the sun is setting to the west, taking in the last of the day’s light before we begin our night of celestial wonder. While other evenings will focus on immersing ourselves in the darkest of skies! You can find the unique details for each date below!
Naturalist Guided Experience: The tuff ring of Ft. Rock’s pinnacles rise above an ancient ocean bed and much like the geologic history of other Central Oregon formations such as Smith Rock, the area’s geology can be traced back to volcanic activity. It is an area that is locally referred to as the Sagebrush Ocean, a stunning piece of America’s landscape filled with raptors, coyotes and cowboys. The area is also home to some of the oldest evidence of human civilization in North America. Fort Rock is an absolutely incredible stargazing destination, lying just north of the newly designated Oregon Outback Dark Sky Sanctuary. The Oregon Outback as a whole, is the largest contiguous dark sky shed in the United States, boasting some of the best stargazing in the entire world.
