Chapman will be hosting several food trucks in a pre-Interstices event food truck "rally". Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, grab something to eat, attend a yoga session and head in doors to hear Cheryl Strayed and Interstices panelists. 

Main Event

How do we retain wildness in ourselves? How do we stay in touch with those things that allow us to take risks, change patterns, and see the world differently? The event will discuss the importance of natural wildness – the wilderness that exists outside of our day to day living that preexists us, surrounds us, and yet can seem so far away. How do we reconnect to wilderness? And when we do what impact does it have on us?

Author Cheryl Strayed will discuss her bestseller Wild. After Mrs. Strayed's talk there will be an interactive panel discussion.
