Interurban/Clayton Beach Traverse 10-23-16

The Sea Stars gathered on another gorgeous fall day to explore Bellingham's finest trails and beaches on their first-ever traverse outing (meaning, we would leave one place and finish in another). As always, we greeted each other with joy and excitement and made our way up to the Interurban Trail. There we spent some time interviewing a partner about an exciting new thing in their life, and shared about our partner to the group.

From there, we talked about how we could help our group thrive during our day. One of the ways we thought of was using our motto, LIBK. The girls really seemed to connect to this idea and we committed to using our words to share our needs throughout the day. The Sea Stars have always enjoyed deep interpersonal connections to each other, and this commitment really spoke to that. Rebecca and I noticed lots of intermingling, joyful play, and interesting conversation between all of the girls-- such a special thing to be part of!

On our walk, we stopped at every little thing we noticed that was special-- in true Explorer's fashion. We found a creek and bluff to traverse and explore, climbed on rocks on the beach, made nature self portraits, enjoyed a serene Peaceful Place, and embraced a sunshining day in October!
