Walk Through the Cosmos: An Evening of Reflection at Glen Tana
September 12, 2025
You’re invited to the Cosmic Walk!
Join us on Sunday, September 21 at Glen Tana for an evening of reflection, music, mindfulness, and connection beneath the stars.
When life feels heavy, sometimes the best gift we can give ourselves is a pause – space for healing, community, and perspective. The Cosmic Walk offers just that.
This unique, non-religious ritual traces 13.8 billion years of Earth’s history through narration, music, and meditation.
Hosted by New Story Spokane in partnership with the Inland Northwest Land Conservancy, the event invites you to slow down, attune to the rhythms of the natural world, and reflect on your place in the unfolding story of the cosmos. Whether you come for the picnic, the walk itself, or simply to feel a sense of belonging, the Cosmic Walk is an invitation to harmony, awe, and connection – with the land, with one another, and with the universe.
Come and also visit with New Story Collaborative Partners:
