Where Adventure Meets Community

Native grasses have deep, extensive root systems that make them more tolerant to adverse conditions. Together, they function in harmony with other native plants, sharing resources, and make up diverse, attractive, and resilient biomes.

Likewise, individuals and families without deep roots in their community struggle to access the rich nourishment they require when they need it the most. But when rooted deeply in solidarity beside their neighbors, they reflect the beauty and culture of where they live, improve the environment around them, and flourish–with little intervention.

For many, religion can be an integral piece of addressing the fundamental human need for connection, purpose, and positive mental health–but where do secular folks turn when they seek community? Where do these people find rhythm and roots, and where can they foster authentic, intentional connections? Who delivers the new mother a home-cooked meal, and what group do they sign up with when they wish to provide community service? At TrailMix NWA, we believe it can start by meeting up with others to explore your neighborhood creek.

While many of us identify as secular humanists, agnostics, or atheists, we welcome individuals of all beliefs. There’s no religious litmus test here; some of our attendees may consider themselves spiritual but prefer spending Sunday mornings with us. At TrailMix NWA, we embrace values of inclusivity, social justice, and scientific inquiry. We affirm all gender expressions and sexual orientations. Our commitment to kindness extends to both our members and the wider community.
