🌅 Sunset at Where Wonder Grows: Evening Art Walk at Mount Trashmore

Hampton Roads Psychedelic Society

📅 Friday, November 13 · 4:30 PM

📍 Mount Trashmore Park, 310 Edwin Drive, Virginia Beach. We'll meet at Shelter 3; the installation is just beyond it.

Join us for a sunset stroll through Where Wonder Grows: Sanctuary, a free, immersive art installation by the Australian art collective Skunk Control. It features thousands of nature-inspired pieces: kinetic flowers that open and close, peacocks, birdhouses, and butterflies that play with light. As the sun goes down (around 5 PM), the flowers and plants light up, so we'll get to see it both in daylight and glowing after dark.

We'll wander at our own pace, take in the art, and share conversation about wonder, awe, creativity, and psychedelic education and integration. The installation is open until 8 PM on Friday nights, so stay as long as you like.

All are welcome. That includes every background, identity, body, age, and experience level. You don't need any psychedelic experience to join, just curiosity and an open heart. 💛

What to bring

Layers and a warm jacket (it cools down fast after sunset)

Comfortable walking shoes

A flashlight or phone light for walking back to the parking lot

Your camera!

Community Agreements

Treat everyone with kindness and respect.
