Drip & Culture - On the Grounds
Summer Meet Up Series
Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods
Join Brushwood Center and local Waukegan coffee shop Drip & Culture, for a partnership series: Drip & Culture - On the Grounds! Taking place every other Saturday through September 30, this series activates the recommendations of Brushwood's newest report: Health, Equity, and Nature: A Changing Climate in Lake County, IL, with community-centered planning and discussion.
The discussions will be co-facilitated by Brushwood Center Staff and the Drip & Culture team, with a featured community leadership or organization voice. Meet us at the steps of Brushwood Center for a hike, and then will we make our way inside for coffee and conversation!
The discussions will be bilingual, in both English and Spanish. Meet Ups will happen rain or shine.

Drip & Culture
Black and Brown owned coffee shop Drip & Culture’s vision was to create something special that would allow them to transform Supermercado Gonzalez in Waukegan, Illinois. Drip & Culture is a socially minded coffee shop. Its founders believe that with intention and empathy, they can launch the types of initiatives that shape their community for the better. |
This partnership program is part of the 40th Annual Smith Nature Symposium Event Series. This year’s theme, Connecting To Our Common Ground, is inspired by honoree Baratunde Thurston and celebrates our 40th anniversary through an inspiring line-up of artists, programs, and change-makers.
