SUMMARY:Odditree Ride: Slow Growth Edition
DESCRIPTION:Slow down\, touch grass\, practice presence. \n\n\n\n\nThis event is FREE! The ticket price is a deposit to hold your spot\, and will be refunded with your attendance on event day. \nGhisallo Cycling Initiative and The Odditree Society join forces for a gentle\, reflective bike ride through three distinct green spaces in central Austin—an invitation to slow down\, tune in\, and experience the city through a different lens. \nThis ride will take us through 3 distinct green spaces in central Austin. At each stop\, we’ll dismount and spend time with trees that have lived vastly different lives within the same urban landscape. Together\, we’ll notice their forms\, textures\, and histories\, considering the quiet ways they shape and witness the city around us. \nAlong the way we’ll pay attention to our bodies\, the landscape\, and the ephemeral flux that surrounds us but often goes un-noticed. This ride is an exploration of perception and context\, of how we come to know a place through our senses and our bodies. \nExpect moments of stillness. We may kick off our shoes\, touch the ground\, or linger longer than usual. There’s no rush—only an openness to what unfolds when we allow ourselves to move slowly and pay attention. \nWe’ll wrap with a charcuterie picnic at the Boggy Creek Pavilion. \nCome as you are. Bring water\, something soft to throw on the ground\, your curiosity\, and a willingness to be here\, now. \nBYO-Bike (and helmet) or reserve a loaner from Ghisallo. \nPlease email Tawny.Villain@ghisallo.org with your bike reservation request or questions. \nHelmets will be required for all riders. Bring yours or borrow one from Ghisallo.

SUMMARY:Overheard On A Train
DESCRIPTION:So let’s say you’re on public transit\, eavesdropping on a group’s conversation. (No shame—we do it\, too.) \nYou ever wonder what it would be like to live that life? To dip into their daily drama? Now’s your chance! \nJoin us for Overheard on a Train\, and see what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. \nExcept\, you’re not walking—because you’re on a train. \nAnd also—it’s longer than a mile. \nAnd also—you wear your own shoes. \nYou can book your ticket here.  \nOverheard on a Train is an interactive experience that takes place on board Austin’s metro-rail. You and three friends will sign up as a group\, and receive a script when you board the train. During the journey\, your foursome will read the script to each other\, out loud. (It’s a “table read\,” and you are the actors!) Your collective story will unfold as you turn each page and deliver each line. Choose which storyline your group likes best\, such as THE BAND\, or THE BACHELORETTE PARTY\, or THE BANK ROBBERS—and we’re now offering THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS\, for kids and families!

SUMMARY:Eat for Impact Walk & Talk with Austin Bat Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Meet us at 6:30pm at Chicano Park for a relaxed sunset walk + talk with Austin Bat Refuge. We will leave for our walk no later than 6:45pm\, ending at Congress Avenue Bridge. The route is beginner-friendly: mostly flat and paved. We will get a chance to learn ALL ABOUT Austin’s Bats on our walk and at the bridge. Come prepared with a bottle of water. (for walking!) \nAccording to Austin Bat Refuge\, for the last six years the bats flew anywhere from 7:45pm – 8:20pm. We will be staying until they fly\, but folks are welcome to head back at any time. \nThis is a great opportunity to connect with others who care about local conservation and supporting sustainable initiatives. All are welcome\, but for the safety of the bats\, we ask that everyone leave their animal friends at home. \nParking Advice: There is limited street parking near Chicano Park – we like parking at Festival Beach and walking over. There is usually plenty of street parking near Fiesta Gardens. \nThis event is part of Austin’s Eat for Impact initiative\, where we’re bringing the city’s residents together around food and climate action all April-long. This campaign is designed to highlight climate-friendly eating and environmental action with free events and activations designed to educate and inspire. Sign up here to learn more!
