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:
