Julia Butterfly Hill: A Community Experience

Julia Butterfly Hill: A Community Experience

Join Julia Butterfly Hill in Boise for a two-part community gathering exploring connection, resilience, and healthier communities.

Internationally renowned environmental activist, author, and yogini Julia Butterfly Hill has spent decades inspiring people around the world through her extraordinary story and commitment to living with courage, intention, and purpose.

Now, she brings that perspective to Boise for two unique experiences centered on what it means to create healthier, happier, and more resilient communities.

Hosted by the Yoga Tree of Boise Foundation, this community experience reflects something we believe deeply: there are many pathways to health and connection. Yoga is one. So are meaningful conversations, environmental stewardship, creativity, service, and authentic relationships.

Whether you're passionate about conservation, public health, education, community leadership, mindfulness, or simply searching for hope and connection, you'll find yourself among people who believe positive change begins close to home.

Healthy communities are built through connection, compassion, and curiosity. This is your invitation to gather!
