Join Mesquite Bosque Academy Foundation, in collaboration with Santa Fe Ranch Foundation at Las Lagunas de Anza Wetlands · W Country Club Dr, Nogales, AZ for an afternoon of nature, creativity, music, and community as we welcome the Fall Equinox.

Step outside, slow down, and experience the changing season together through patterns, balance, rhythm, harvest, and the natural world.

Make & Explore

Create a Sonoran Desert fall mandala with natural materials from our region while discovering patterns, cycles, and the beauty of the changing season.

Rhythm & Gathering

At 3:30 and 4:30 PM, gather for music and rhythm with Katie Munger and Emily Dukes, featuring their original song Holy Fool. Listen, sing, move, or join the rhythm as we celebrate together.

Light, Movement & Balance

Explore the science of the equinox through playful experiments with light, shadows, seeds, movement, and balance—and wonder together: What does it mean to find balance?

Harvest & Share

Celebrate the harvest and the abundance of our borderlands region with Borderlands Produce Rescue, along with local paletas and fresh juices to enjoy together. Throughout the afternoon, learn more about Mesquite Bosque Academy Foundation and Rooted Fridays—Montessori-inspired experiences connecting children with nature, curiosity, and community.

Come curious. Stay awhile. Gather with us.

Free and open to families and community members.
