The Living Night: A Guided Encounter with Darkness Step into the woods after sunset for The Living Night, a guided nighttime hike that explores what happens when daylight disappears and our relationship with the landscape begins to change.

Along the trails of Sands Point Preserve, participants will slow down, adjust to the darkness, and experience the environment through sound, shadow, movement, texture, and the night sky.

Along the way, we’ll explore how human senses adapt after dark, basic nighttime navigation, stories and traditions connected with the night, and the important role darkness plays in healthy ecosystems.
