About the Event

Wendell Berry invites us into the dark on the dark's terms. As we turn fully toward the wisdom of winter, to what is cold and stark, we approach on soft feet, slowly, to see, hear, know, the sacred wisdom of dark. While many mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds enter into different states of consciousness during winter, we will gather around nature's ways of approaching and sinking into the deep well that holds us. For heaven and earth, darkness and light, do not have fixed boundaries. 

What to Bring:

  • Folding chair and blankets to wrap in

  • Wear your warm layers so you can be present in the colder temperatures

  • Journal and pen if this helps

  • Your own thermos or mug

With respect, acknowledgment, and love, we gather on the land of the Eastern Siouan-speaking ancestors of the Monacan Nation and Manahoac peoples, and of the Iroquoian speakers and of the Central Algonquian language speakers.
