Soul Support presents Master Reiki Practitioner Karl Vidt of MCC

This is not a training in the art, however attendees will be provided an opportunity to experience a Reiki treatment.

Dykes on Hikes East Bay Thursday 6pm

— admin @ 5:00 am

Come on out to the “Dykes on Hikes” hike: Thursday July 24, at 6pm. We’ll be meeting at 6pm on Rose/MLK in Berkeley but probably going to Tilden Park from there.
To make finding each other easier, and to facilitating carpooling, we’re going to meet at the corner of Rose and Martin Luther King, by the benches outside of Fatapple’s on Rose Street (which also happens to be right by the Rose Street House of Music House Concerts). It’s right on the 79 bus line, just a couple blocks from a lot of other bus lines, and 1 mile from both the North Berkeley and Berkeley BART stations.
We’ll be meeting there between 6 & 6:15pm. Then driving up to Tilden Park (if you prefer to meet us up there at 6:30pm, please let me know).
Depending on preferences of the “dykes on hikers” who show up, we might go up to the Lone Oak picnic area (from Grizzly/Spruce/Wildcat Canyon intersection, take Canon Drive up, R on Central Park, left into the Lone Oak Road parking lot, past the field to the Lone Oak picnic table).
After the hike, we’ll head over to the Cactus Taqueria on Solano for dinner, or head back to Rose/MLK depending on everyone’s preference.
Please email me at irinarivkin@yahoo.com to let me know you’re coming (please use yahoomaps or another online resource for specific directions from where you are) - it’s good to include a number I can reach you in the email in case there are any changes. If your don’t like to email, it’s cool to call me at 510-857-7562 on Thursday

“Dykes on Hikes” is an informal social & fitness/exercise/recreation hiking group for lesbian & bi womyn. Let’s go hiking in Tilden, Redwood, Joaquin Miller, and other East Bay parks! Pace at 2-3 miles an hour (depends on steepness of hills), hikes range from 2-10 miles. Some hikes may be followed by a picnic potluck or lunch out (TBA). No smoking / perfume / pets on the hikes please.
All hikes are informal, and all hikers take full responsibility for themselves, and accept/assume their own risks, not holding other “dykes on hikers” liable for any injuries, damages, or losses of any kind. Organizers are not responsible for the carpools, and it’s suggested that carpool passengers chip in to cover drivers’ gas (usually just $1 per person for Tilden hikes).
