Description

Do you long to experience a deeper connection with the natural world? Do you sense a kinship with creation but find it difficult to explain what makes that relationship so powerful? Are you interested in learning more about trees as well as listening to their wisdom? At Kinship Plot, we believe that resonant relationship with the more-than-human world is central to holistic healing and spiritual flourishing. We find deep joy in simple practices like walking, listening, forest bathing, and co-naming, and we would love to share these with you on a walk through one of our favorite forests in Charlotte. This forest includes an official "treasure tree" grove of American Beech, as well as a towering white oak, and we'll take time to ponder and listen to what these trees have to teach us. The walk will leave prompty at 10:00am at the Ribbonwalk Nature Preserve parking lot off Nevin Road, so make sure to arrive a few minutes early to park and find the group. Parking is limited at the entrance, but you can also park nearby on Nevin Brook Road. During the walk, you can expect times of silence, guided reflection, suggested practices, and opportunities for open interaction. Given the contemplative nature of the walk, we do ask that all participants are able to honor times of silence. The total distance is rougly two miles and may be muddy, so wear appropriate attire and bring a water bottle. In the event of inclement weather, we will reschedule. If you plan to join us, please take a moment to get your free ticket so we know how many to expect.
