Session Overview: This October’s Flourish Hour celebrates the richness of fall through biking adventures, farming, and getting into the Halloween spirit that nourish both physical health and mental well-being. Join us for an energizing session where we explore local outdoor activities, hear from colleagues about their seasonal pastimes, and discover how embracing the rhythms of fall can support our department’s broader goals of creativity, balance, and holistic growth. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist, a curious hiker, or simply someone who enjoys a crisp apple in the sunshine, there’s something here to inspire your autumn journey.
