Monday, June 22, 2026 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Explore and be inspired while forest bathing at the Lake Superior Zoo. Different from a nature hike, being fully in the present moment gently awakens awe and discovery. Technology is set aside to plug into the healing and calming power of nature. During the 2 hour session a series of guided invitations are intermixed with walking slowly, sitting in silence, mindfully observing nature, and sharing what is witnessed. There is a mix of solo and group time. The session concludes with tea and light snacks. Return home to your place of belonging as part of what is wonderfully wild. $40 per person, or $70 for one youth and accompanying adult. Pre-registration with payment required.

June at the Rock is a celebration of creativity, community, and place. We are proud to feature Voyageur Artists, a collective of local artists from Two Harbors whose work reflects the beauty and character of Minnesota’s North Shore. This group exhibit brings together a diverse range of styles, perspectives, and mediums — all rooted in a shared connection to the landscapes, waters, and communities that define this region. From painting to photography and beyond, each piece offers a unique interpretation of place. Voyageur Artists are dedicated to inspiring creativity within the community through exhibitions, workshops, and educational opportunities. Their work not only celebrates the North Shore, but also supports the next generation of artists through scholarships and outreach.
