SACRED WILD SERIES

INTO THE WISDOM OF NATURE


Created in partnership with Natural Mystery School
Six-part series, Wednesday afternoons 2pm-5pm, March 8th - April 12th
 

 

If you would like to get closer with nature but you are not sure where to start, or if you already feel close with nature but you would like to bring it to the soul level, this program is for you.

Do you long to connect with nature in a way that inspires mindfulness, strengthens your intuition and encourages well being in your daily life?  This is a journey deep into wilderness, spirit, and self discovery.  In this series, we blend nature observation with the principles of ancestral wisdom.  We will share core routines of nature connection which you can use in daily life.  We will also go beyond these routines to explore the noumenal experience of being in touch with nature itself.  Our practices include meditations, sit spots, honoring of the seasons and spirits of place, and connecting with the flora and fauna of our piedmont landscape.  Experience silence of mind, gratitude, awareness, and finding personal allies in wild places.  

Each weekly session will be followed by home practices that you can use to deepen your own knowledge of nature and your personal journey into the sacred wild.

 


DETAILS & REGISTRATION

Sessions will take place at the lakeside gazebo pavilion, fire circle, community kitchen, and barn loft. 

Try out the first session: $30
Entire series: $120-$180 sliding scale


 

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTORS

Sarah Haggerty helps people get in touch with what really matters. In an increasingly fragmented world, we need connection with the deeper aspects of life more now than ever. She has developed her approach over the past 20 years, and has supported thousands of people on the path of deep nature connection and personal growth. Through this work, she has helped remove the grief of disconnection, awaken attributes of leadership, nourish dreams and bring a sense of meaning back into daily life. She was the 2012 winner of the North Carolina Environmental Educators of the Year award, was Program Director at Schoolhouse of Wonder, founded the Natural Mystery School, and is the current Director of Education at Piedmont Wildlife.

Meg Toben and her husband, Tim, co-created the Eco-Institute at Pickards Mountain as a sanctuary for nature connection, renewal, and healing the human-Earth relationship.  Meg has twenty years of experience as an environmental educator, and ten as an executive director, during which time she has learned useful techniques for cultivating balance while keeping a holistic level of awareness.  Meg knows and loves the land here deeply, having raised her family on it for the past twelve years.  In 2015, Meg was honored with the Piedmont Environmental Leadership Award.  Her love for art, ritual, Earth, and humanity inspire her to offer healing space of deep renewal to all who are working to heal our world.
