Mindfulness Hike
Join us for the first Mindfulness Hike of 2026!
Wind through the ancient cliffs and hardwood forests of Black Rock on a Mindfulness Hike centered on “shelter.” In this place where stone, root, and canopy hold steady against time, we’ll slow our pace and listen for the quiet assurances nature offers: safety, grounding, and room to breathe. Through brief reflections presented by NICHES and A Work in Progress Faith Community, participants will explore how the landscape shelters its animal inhabitants and how it can shelter us, too.
This program is free, but advanced registration is required.
Register at: https://nicheslandtrust.org/calendar/mindfulness-hike-shelter
Transportation from Fort Ouiatenon will be available for those who wish to carpool, as parking is limited at the preserve.

2010's Trivia
It’s time to throw it back to the decade of selfies, streaming, and way too many group chats!
From “Call Me Maybe” to “Old Town Road,” Vine to TikTok, Avengers: Endgame to Stranger Things, this trivia night is all about the moments that defined the 2010s.
Do you remember:
Who really won the internet?
Which Netflix shows everyone binged instead of going out?
The memes, the music, the movies, and the celebrities that dominated your feed?
Grab your team, order some pizza, and see if you’re more Team Beyoncé or Team Drake, if you can survive the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and if your pop culture knowledge is stronger than your old iPhone battery.
As always, trivia is FREE to play! Just show up and show off that 2010s knowledge!
Because if you remember where you were when Game of Thrones ended… this night is for you.
