Rescheduled, again, for Saturday, October 31, a Halloween Party In The Making.
Look for details.
,,,but, first let me tell you about how our First “Official" Forest Bathing Sanctuary Event turned out.
Saturday, August 22, original date:
Weathered out. Heavy rains predicted.
Event rescheduled for following Saturday.
Saturday, August 29:
All was going well. Or, so we believed until…Chaos erupted when ...
...an unprepared guest arrived, who needed to pee pee, only to discover there was no available bathroom anywhere nearby.
And she, citified and unschooled in the ways of Girl Scouts who had gone into forests before her, went into a panic. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! What an upset.
Her accompanying friend, forewarned, had come with her own toilet paper and was quite willing to share though pee pee woman was having none of it -- and hightailed out of here.
Nonetheless, our wise and wonderful ad hoc Council of Elders is monitoring the scene and making every effort to actively extend the gifts of our exceptional community approach, including: 1. Leaning in; 2. Dialoguing, rather than debating the situation and who was right or wrong; 3. Seeking to manage this upset by "climbing our own unique mountain of awe" to find our way through the challenges.
We'll update you on this when there is more to tell.
Meanwhile ....
Next Forest Bathing Sanctuary Event:
Halloween Eve Saturday, October 31.
Details forthcoming.
Now about YOUR pre-arranged visit to the NH/ZOP Forest Bathing Sanctuary…
We are not quite ready for you just yet. However, if and when you do join us out here in the mountains, please remember to bring your own toilet paper!
Snake control problems. They exist for me although Board Member Sue, our onsite environmental expert and woods woman, with her M. Ed., Environmental Education, says she’s yet to see one while my position is: so what, we do have the real, meaning copperhead and eastern rattlers up here. I've seen the former myself.
And of course Black Bears think of us as welcoming neighbors.
Actually, it’s only my high-up-on-the-side-of-the -mountain neighbor who has seen one of these, as far as I know.
Oh well. This is mountain living and we are working toward sharing a piece of it with you, as soon as we are able, knowing how very much many of you are already looking forward to a day in the mountains with us, soon.
NH/ZOP Forest Bathing Sanctuary Details
Limit: 4 guests.
Masks must be worn and safe social-distancing practices observed.
Of course, we are now wait-listing reservations into November.
No fees for our NH/ZOP group events, at this time.
Donations are invited and encouraged in Time, Talent and Treasures: We especially appreciate $$$$$, as we are still just getting off the ground with remodeling.
Private Forest Bathing parties can be arranged.
