Please arrive by 7:30 AM to ensure a timely start to the session. This beginner-friendly event welcomes individuals aged 12 and up who are curious about trying this rewarding sport.
Under the guidance of the experienced Tara Montgomery and the East Bay Rowing Club team, you'll learn the fundamental techniques of rowing in a safe and encouraging environment. No prior rowing experience or swimming ability is required.
This special collaboration between Negus In Nature, dedicated to connecting the Children of the African Diaspora and their allies with nature, and the established East Bay Rowing Club provides a powerful opportunity to engage with the outdoors in a new and meaningful way. As Tara Montgomery passionately states, "Rowing changed my life—it gave me a full-ride scholarship, but even more, it taught me mindfulness in motion. Each stroke became a moving meditation, grounding me in the present while connecting me to the quiet power of the water and the legacy of my ancestors who moved with it long before me."
With limited spots available to ensure personalized instruction and prioritize safety, don't miss this chance to learn a new skill, connect with nature, and experience the "mindfulness in motion" that rowing offers. Sign up now to secure your place!
