YCC in the Community: Community Hikes for Sierra Club
The Yoga Center of Columbia is committed to serving and to supporting our local community as well as our greater intellectual and spiritual community near and far. We strive to uplift others by offering service in many ways. One of the ways that we express our community values is through our offering of donation-based workshops, events, and gatherings to benefit charitable organizations, such as our monthly Community Hikes offered by YCC yoga teachers!
Since October 2024, our donation-based Community Hikes led by Chris, Lauren, and Karen P have raised nearly $700 for the Sierra Club Maryland Chapter.
Sierra Club is the "largest and most enduring grassroots environmental advocacy organization in the nation" whose motto is to "explore, enjoy, and protect the planet." The Sierra Club helps defend everyone's right to a healthy world and aims to preserve our air, water, land & wildlife for future generations.
Chris and Karen P's monthly hikes in Howard County and surrounding areas invite participants to more fully awaken their senses, connect to the natural world, and tap into the healing power of nature. 100% of the proceeds from these Community Hikes go to Sierra Club Maryland Chapter to honor and care for our natural environment.
Join Chris and Karen P for the next hike on location at the Wincopin Trail in Jessup, Maryland, on the morning of July 24th! Register on our Workshops page to receive more detailed logistics and trailhead information prior to the hike. Your $5 or more donation to these fundraising hikes is greatly appreciated: we believe that we all benefit from giving the gift of our time and support, and in return, receiving the uplifting treasures of our natural world in our breath and in our spirits!
Thank you to all who have joined and supported our donation-based initiatives in the past, and we invite you to join us in the future to “be the change” and become a vibrant part of our caring YCC community!
