Pre-Holiday Grounding Hike - Michigan
November 22, 2025 — 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm ET
Last day to register: November 20, 2025
The holidays are notoriously stressful for everyone, but can be even more so for the queer and trans community.
Join TVOP volunteer Krista for a comfortable hike that will take us through a small forest and end with breath-taking views of Lake Michigan.
Bring your own cup (or borrow one from Krista) as we take some time at the mid point of our trail to sit over the lake and enjoy a warm drink of your choice. We'll take time to reconnect with ourselves, nature, and our community to help build ourselves up before the hectic end of the year sprint.
We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable, warm, and hydrated at this event.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
