Nurtured in Nature at Powell Butte

Join us for Nurtured in Nature at Powell Butte Nature Park A networking event series hosted by Renee Lynn Creative—a purpose-driven branding studio rooted in Portland, OR. We’re a growing community of founders who identify as trans, non-binary, femme, Two Spirit, and women (both trans and cis) in all stages of business, coming together for a wandering walk through the parks of Portland. This is a great event for new business owners feeling unsure, inspired founders preparing for growth, and entrepreneurs on the verge of burnout. 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. Remember this event is for entrepreneurs who identify as trans, non-binary, femme, Two Spirit, and women (both trans and cis) in all stages of business. If you can't show up with mutual respect for everyone gathered, you will be asked to leave. We will occasionally open this event up for anyone in business (roughly once a quarter). Be sure to follow the event calendar and read carefully before signing up. Come with an open mind, leave with an encouraged heart. Logistics Find a place to park that works best for you (free parking in a few designated parking lots near the Visitor Center), carpool with a friend, or ride public transit (TriMet Bus 9) to meet us by "Powell Butte Visitor Center" before 3:20pm, so we can start walking from there. Remember your water bottle and a notebook to jot down new ideas / 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.
