The mountains of North Carolina offer breathtaking, ineffable scenery. This did not come from a script or an instruction manual. Nature has a divine way of knowing how to create the most exquisite beauty. As we hike along the trails, we will collect treasures ranging from pine cones to rocks to sticks to feathers to whatever else nature has to offer.
At the culmination of our hike, we will gather to make an offering to our loving Mother Earth by piecing together a mandala with the treasures that we have found along the way. This will be a celebration of the natural artistic ways of this planet and of the beauty of recognizing it. A daypack or bag of sorts is encouraged for your treasure collection along the way.
Transportation will be provided by the LSP shuttle. Pick-up is at 9:00am in downtown Asheville at the shuttle pick up near Mountain Air Market, see festival map. If you miss the shuttle, you are responsible for your own transportation. The shuttle will return the group to Asheville by 12:00pm.
This session requires a special ticket,
