Full Moon Dinner: Hunter's Moon - Saturday, October 24, 2026

5:30pm - 9:30pm at the Farm to Table Teaching Center

Full moon dinners at Slide are an interwoven celebration of the stars, moon, and wonder of the night sky, plus of earth, garden, and what grows from the soil. These dinners bring us through the seasons, for moments of gathering in the fullness of the last weeks of summer, to a cozier, darker evening ushering us into fall. After dinner, engage with expert astronomers and astrologers as they share celestial wisdom, and join a guided night walk along our coastal trails, soaking in the moonlit or fog shrouded beauty of the Pacific. 

For the Hunter’s Moon on October 24th, we are thrilled to be partnering with Chef Tikko Sperling Freilich. Born and raised in Vermont working with her family’s sourdough bakery, Tikko was always deeply involved in Vermont’s unique food system web. With a background in farming and cooking, Tikko is now involved in Slow Food East Bay and works at Chez Panisse, honing her culinary skills and expanding her slow food education. Under the Hunter’s Moon in the Slide kitchen, she will craft a beautiful, seasonal meal. 

After dinner, we will be joined by star experts, astronomers and astrologers, and break off into groups to learn about the universe, our world and ourselves. 

Don Jolley is a long-time resident of West Marin, and has served for nearly four decades as a teacher of Maths and Sciences at the Bolinas School. Don has extensive experience in outdoor education, having led over fifty expeditions to the eastern Sierra and Western Interior to study geology and Earth’s history as preserved in the fossil record.
