Through centuries and across cultures, we have learned that stones contain a mysterious and spiritual power. As our oldest relatives, they teach us that they can contain our suffering and our stories. Join Lewis Mehl-Madrona, Barbara Mainguy, and Bob Vetter on a pilgrimage to the place known as Cadillac Mountain and Acadia National Park to walk among the rocks to explore the mysteries and connections in history and in our present-day experience.

Originally inhabited by the Wabanaki people, Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.  For part of the year, it's the first place in the United States to see the sun rise. 

In the mornings, we will immerse ourselves in the landscape, hiking the trails etched over centuries in the beautiful earth, characterized by pink granite and forests of spruce, pitch pine, wild blueberries, and gnarled trees. In the afternoon, we will explore and record the stories, dreams, and experiences the land inspires in us on our morning hikes. We will explore how to communicate with the More-Than-Humans and the Other-Than-Humans. 

Due to the nature of this event, pre-registration is required.
