CAILLEACH HAS ARRIVED!
The first hard frost of the season has arrived, and with it, we feel the power of the Cailleach as the winds turn colder and the woodstove springs to life. With the change of seasons, we putting our fields to bed for the winter in anticipation of the growing season to come when Brigid arrives this spring.
While the fields may be fallow, there are many opportunities to gather in circle at Avalon. Next weekend, we are hosting an event by Hemlock Grove, and the next Wise Women Talking gathering takes place on Sunday, November 16. Next month brings a special full moon gathering on Thursday, December 4. Click here for more information about how to hold your event at Avalon!
Welcome!
HOW ARE YOU BEING NOURISHED?
At Avalon Acres, our commitment is to guide people back to their sense of wonder through connecting them to nature and the healing effect natural, thriving ecosystems have on us. Remembering our connection to the natural world allows us to re-set, restore and rejuvenate in ways that help us show up to our own lives with more patience, excitement, compassion and willingness. The programs Avalon Acres offers are nourishing to the soul, no matter what religious or spiritual background you may be bringing to the experience. Whether it is enjoying the plethora of fresh veggies and eggs, committing to a 3-day guided vision quest on the land or taking a 90-minute hula hoop class in the apple orchard, the Earth and her intelligence will help return you to yourself.
