Hyggehiking Earth Day + Birbs 🐤

On Saturday April 25th, we'll take to the open streets for NYC's Car-Free Earth Day in conjunction with migratory bird season, reveling in the parks, public art, and birdwatching hotspots of Manhattan and Brooklyn. We'll culminate with cozy conversation, tea, and zine making.

This is a 12 hour hike spanning 10+ miles, and you are free to join us at *any* point in the day 🙌. All RSVP'd "yes" and "maybe" attendees on Partiful will receive a link at 10am to my realtime location for the entire day, along with my phone number, so you can see exactly where we are on Google Maps and call me directly if you need help.

🌿 About Hyggehiking 🌿

Hygge means "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being."

"Hyggehiking" is my own special blend, where we engage in that conviviality while trekking through green spaces throughout our city.

I host Hygge gatherings so we can come together to make new friends, discuss fun projects we're eager to work on, dive into deep, thoughtful conversations, and meet people who can help make NYC feel like a smaller, closer-knit community. We bring our friends, family, coworkers, anyone we think would enjoy spending the day alongside a variety of curious souls.
