Get Out and About with us on our first OAT Ozarks hike! We’ll meet bright and early at 9 am and carpool to our hiking spot. Once everyone in the group is ready, we’ll set off on the first half of our hike! We’ll stop for a picnic lunch (provided) and take some time to dive into the idea of resiliency within the queer community. You’ll learn the basics of what resiliency is, historical examples of queer resiliency, and have an opportunity to reflect on ways that you can become more resilient. After around an hour of lunch and learning, we’ll set forth on the second half of our hike. After we’ve finished up, we’ll carpool back to Springfield and part ways for the evening.

This month, get together with us as we discuss all things empathy. What is empathy? Who is deserving of your empathy? How do you show empathy to others? What are some ways you can grow your capacity for empathy? Join us in May to discuss these questions and more! After our discussion, we’ll walk a mile around the park. This is a come and go event. You can leave whenever you’d like!
