Nurtured in Nature at Hoyt Arboretum

Join us for Nurtured in Nature at Hoyt Arboretum ​A networking event series hosted by Renee Lynn Creative—a purpose-driven branding studio rooted in Portland, OR. Most of this event series has been centered around entrepreneurs who identify as trans, non-binary, femme, Two Spirit, and as women (both trans and cis). Once a quarter, we open up the invitation for networking in the park to any purpose-driven founder currently running a business or thinking about starting one. Whether you don’t love the settings of traditional networking, haven't felt welcome at community events, or think you’d enjoy some time to decompress with fellow entrepreneurs—we’d love to have you walk alongside us. Everyone present will have the opportunity to share about who they are and what they do. Depending on our group size, we may split into small groups to be mindful of everyone's time. You can expect to connect naturally in a low-pressure setting, while enjoying the fresh air together. Go back to work feeling refreshed and recharged for the week ahead. We might even solve your latest business problem, reignite your confidence, or provide a referral. This is our once-a-quarter, calling-all-founders meetup! If you can't show up with mutual respect for everyone gathered, you will be asked to leave. Be sure to follow the event calendar to be the first to know about our next meetup. Come with an open mind, leave with an encouraged heart. ​​Logistics Find a place to park that works best for you, carpool with a friend, or ride public transit to meet us by "Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center" before 3:20pm, so we can start walking from there. Visit the Hoyt Arboretum "plan your visit" page for more information. Remember your water bottle and a notebook to jot down new ideas and connections. *Business cards not required but not discouraged. About the Nurtured in Nature event series: Happening on the third Wednesday of every month from now until the weather takes a turn for the worse. Location will change each month to help make attending more accessible, no matter what side of the river you reside. We are still experimenting with timing, but you can expect to meet at a regular time once we get more settled. Contact Renee to suggest your favorite local park for our next meetup.
