​​Gather on the land in community with others who yearn for sacred conversation with and deep listening to the natural world. 

We convene in a circle with senses wide open, then disperse, solo, onto the land for a period of time to enter into that sacred conversation with the more-than-human beings we encounter. Upon return, there is opportunity to share our experiences with one another.
​

We meet year-round in whatever weather is offered, except heavy rain, thunderstorms, or frigid temperatures with sub-zero wind chill. 

What to bring? A chair or stool if you can't stand around our gathering fire, weather appropriate clothing (including in-season footwear - be prepared for mud or deep snow), a gratitude gift (tobacco, corn meal, bird seed...) for the Others and your open-hearted wonder.
