Welcome to the first edition of
The Bend. You’re
getting this because, at some point, our paths have crossed, maybe
through parks and recreation, a project, a trail ride, or a good
conversation about how community and the outdoors fit together. This
little newsletter is where I slow down long enough to share a few
reflections, insights, and things I’m working on through
Oxbow.
The Bend will follow a simple rhythm each week. The Eddy Line opens with a one-line thought or
observation, something short enough to remember but worth thinking
about. What the Current Pulled Toward dives a
little deeper into where the previous week’s energy went, whether that’s
a project, a partnership, or a personal lesson learned. Signal Fire highlights a person, place, or initiative
that deserves some attention. And One Thought Worth
Sitting With closes things out with a brief reflection or quote
that will hopefully help guide you through whatever you may be dealing
with.
It’s part journal, part field note, and hopefully
something that makes you pause for a moment before diving back into the
current.
If this isn’t your kind of thing, no worries at all -
you can unsubscribe below with no hurt feelings. But if you know someone
who might appreciate a thoughtful read about purpose, place, and the
outdoors, I’d be grateful if you passed it along. Thanks for being here
at the start.

This time next year, Oxbow is heading overseas,
and you’re invited. We’re partnering with
EF
Adventures for a guided
multi-adventure
journey through Germany and Austria, exploring Bavaria, Tyrol, and
Salzburg by foot, bike, paddle, and rail.
It’s part cultural immersion and part active escape, with
alpine trails, lakeside yoga, village cafés, and the kind of views that
make you forget your phone exists. This isn’t a tour bus vacation; it’s
a chance to travel intentionally, move through landscapes at a human
pace, and connect with a group that values curiosity as much as
comfort.
We’re hosting a
general interest meeting
on Tuesday, October 21 to walk through the itinerary, costs, travel
details, and what to expect on an Oxbow-led adventure. If you’ve ever
wanted to explore Europe beyond the postcards, this is your
moment.

This week’s theme: Patience.
“We do not need to go out and find love; rather, we
need to be still and let love discover us.”
- John O’Donohue, Anam Cara
