Walk the trail in the forest to see signs of the Divine Dancing of the magical creatures of the forest and connect with them.

Suggested donation: $20, includes materials, space is limited.
4:00 pm: Nature’s Sound Circle
We join together in a circle, outside to build community, and to reconnect with the land and the spirits of the place. Listen to the sound of the drum as it beats, shake a turtle rattle, and then the howl of a wolf is heard. Join in or just enjoy the energy. Donations welcome.
Our Guide Michael Gulbrandsen is a Listener of Nature’s Whispers. He instructs people in how t0 connect to nature and it’s inhabitants by Walking the Trail. You have to pause & take in the magic, and slow down your senses. See the forest from the Squirrel’s eyes and listen to nature’s whispers,” he says. “The land has held me as I danced in celebration, as I sat by fire to receive guidance, and connected with my brothers & sisters in community. We deepened our love of each other as we walked this path together. I find my connection with Nature at the Sanctuary like any meaningful relationship that deepens over time. I have come to feel at home here, discovering a sense of belonging.”
COVID19 Protocols: We ask all participants to bring a mask to wear for the duration of the event. We will keep a distance of 6 feet or more at all times. Of course, social distancing doesn’t mean that you can’t go outside and enjoy nature, as long as you do so responsibly! Nature is not cancelled!
