Day two at STEAM in the PARK – Yosemite will stay with us for a long time.

8/26/2025

This morning we spent time with Ranger Shelton Johnson, a true facilitator of astonishment. He shared the history of the Buffalo Soldiers and reminded us that when stories aren’t told, they risk disappearing. His words carried weight and left a mark on our entire group.

The afternoon shifted to hands-on discovery—pinecones, art projects, and simple moments that made us stop and notice. Dinner tonight felt more like gathering with family than just sharing a meal. We closed the evening watching Out There by Brendan Hall, which gave us a chance to see our own experiences reflected back in film.

We ended the night under Yosemite’s dark skies, surrounded by stars and gratitude, with plenty to think about.
