Nothing is off the table for discussion, from Yuga Cycles to UAPs and everything in-between.In addition to lectures and discussions, a dowsing workshop will be offered and autumnal hikes to nearby cultural and ceremonial stone landscapes are scheduled. These sites include features known as manitou achsinal or spirit stones in Algonquin speaking cultures, such as megaliths, stone mounds, animal effigies and inscribed glyphs. We'll take in the autumn colors while exploring hidden landscapes, sacred sites and waterfalls, using nature as our classroom, led by expert interpretive guides.

These hikes offer easy to mildly moderate experiences.
