Moonlit Minds: From Golden Hour to Full Moon

Friday, July 31, 2026
7:30pm CT
Eagan, MN

MORE DETAILS AND REGISTRATION

Join fellow gifted adults for an evening of connection, conversation, and nature as we experience the transition from sunset to moonlight together. This will be a relaxed, conversational walk with plenty of opportunities to connect with other gifted adults. New members are warmly welcome. 

We’ll gather before sunset for a relaxed walk around the lake during golden hour, enjoying the beauty of the changing sky and getting to know one another along the trail. After completing the first loop, participants can choose to head home or continue for a second relaxed loop as twilight deepens and the nearly full moon rises above the lake.

Whether you’re seeking meaningful conversation, time in nature, intellectual companionship, or simply a peaceful summer evening outdoors, this event offers space for all.
