SUMMARY:Autumnal Equinox SUNRISE Observance
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the passing of the seasons from Summer to Autumn. We will celebrate at sunrise on the Autumnal Equinox as we look to see the equinox sunrise alignment between sun and stone here at Kinstone!\n\n\nCOST: Free\, No Registration Required (NOTE: If you plan to walk around Kinstone after this event\, please plan to pay the $5 admission fee.) \nDate: Monday\, September 23\, 2019   Time: 6:30am – 7:30am (at Sunrise) \nLocation: The Three Witnesses Sculpture at Kinstone \nCome experience the Autumnal Equinox sunrise as we gather in the center of The Three Witnesses sculpture at Kinstone. Given fair weather and clear skies\, we will watch the sun as it crests the ridge and beams through the Equinox Window to light up the heart of the middle “witness”. Given cloudy or rainy weather\, we will not see the sunrise\, but will greet it ceremoniously regardless! This will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading. \nAfter our readings\, if the sun is visible\, participants may wish to look at the alignment through the Equinox Window\, see the heart highlighted in the center stone Witness\, sit in the light of the sun\, take photos\, and greet the sunrise. We will witness the arrival of Autumn and send Summer on its way with our blessings. This gathering will last about 45 minutes to one hour. Actual sunrise is at 6:54am. However\, with the topography specific to Kinstone and the fields and trees in our view\, the time we witness it is always somewhat different. \nThis event is outdoors and will be held rain or shine. Please note that we will not see the alignment if it is cloudy or if the horizon is obstructed by early morning mist\, fog or clouds. If it is raining\, we may gather indoors inside the Kinstone Education Center. Cancellation will occur in case of a major storm. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, scarves\, hats and gloves if chilly! \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the Autumnal Equinox is Monday\, September 23\, 2019 at 2:50am CDT.  \n\nIMPORTANT: If you wish to wander the grounds of Kinstone outside of this event\, please plan to pay your regular admission. Thank you.

As we walk the land\, we will take time at each of these stone spaces\, studying\, discussing and practicing the pillars of mindfulness meditation. The natural spaces under the open sky and these incredible standing stones help us to examine and illuminate our inner study and bring us more into alignment with the life we authentically want to live. \n  \nAdditional details: Rain or Shine. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes. Suggested items to bring: umbrellas for shade or rain\, journals\, drawing materials\, jacket\, yoga mat or blanket for personal meditation times\, sunscreen and insect repellent. \n  \nAbout your facilitators: \nKristine Beck is the founder\, creator and director of Kinstone in Fountain City\, Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:A Kirtan Experience in the Stone Circle
DESCRIPTION:Come experience KIRTAN with us and even sing along here at Kinstone in our beautiful stone circle. Lotus Head\, a transcendental lounge and kirtan band from Viroqua Wisconsin will lead us in this enchanting musical encounter. They will perform mostly original kirtan compositions designed to assist us in connecting with our wholeness. Be ready to raise your vibrations with their mystical music\, ancient chants and powerful affirmations. \nJai Lynn leads with lyrics\, harmonium and percussion. She will guide us into harmony. Monte plays gong and drums (as well as bass and piano when power is available!); he has over 30 years of musical experience. Together Jai Lynn and Monte create an awakening and transcendental experience. \nCome enjoy! \nSo\, you may ask\, WHAT IS KIRTAN???  Read on… \nKirtan is music. It may be quite a different kind of music than you are used to. It comes from India and largely consists of mantras or chants sung by a leader and then repeated by the audience. It’s a kind of sing-a-long. Many of the songs are sung in Sanskrit and are based on ancient chants. Since you do not know the words\, you can immerse yourself in the music and quiet your mind. It can be a very meditative and magical experience. \nThe following italicized text is quoted from Kitzie Stern\, producer of the podcast\, New World Kirtan: \n“What is Kirtan? \n\n\n\n\n\nIt began in India centuries ago as a spiritual practice\, and was known as the layman’s way to connect with the Divine.\nIn the last ten years\, kirtan has become a phenomenon across the United States\, and has transformed musically to appeal to the ears of American audiences.\nKirtan is a new kind of concert experience here in the West.  It’s not so much a performance as a journey into the self through the practice of listening & singing.  The leaders at a kirtan concert are called wallahs\, and everyone is part of the music.  My all-time favorite descriptions of a kirtan concert: “It’s like singing around a campfire”\, “It’s like a hootenanny with meditation.”\nWhile singing along at a kirtan concert\, you can experience your own voice becoming as beautiful as those performing—all voices merge together to become One Voice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKirtan is a very simple & powerful way to meditate.  It’s effortless & joyful; the music does the work for you as you flow with the melody & rhythm.\nThe performers & the concert-goers create the experience together.\nThe chants are sung in Sanskrit unless you attend a Sikh kirtan ( e.g. Snatam Kaur).  The ancient chants contain powerful renewing & transformative energy that helps us reconnect with the Divinity that resides within all of us.\nSinging is the heart of kirtan\, and no one cares what you sound like.  At a kirtan concert all voices merge together to become One Voice.\nKirtan is non-denominational\, the Universal language of Spirit\, the song of the Soul.”\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT: This is a non-smoking\, alcohol free\, kid-friendly event. This event will be held rain or shine. If the weather is not ideal for outdoor listening we will hold this event inside the Kinstone Education Center. No refunds. \nDate:  Friday\, June 28\, 2019  Time:  6:00 pm Tickets:  $12.00 up to 24 hours in advance\, $15.00 at the door. Kids 12 & under are FREE but must be accompanied by an adult registered for the event! \nPurchase tickets through Eventbrite by clicking HERE or by clicking on the link labeled “Website:”  in the right-hand column on this page; your printed receipt is required for entry. \nPay at the door (cash only) is possible but requires a reservation in advance\, so if you plan to come and pay at the door please CONTACT US to register! Advanced payment is preferred. \nNOTICE:  Bring your own chair or blanket to sit on. Dress for the weather and bring your own insect repellent and/or sunscreen if needed. A flashlight may be helpful if you stay until dark. Park in designated parking areas. Upon arrival\, proceed to the Stone Circle (or the Education Center Classroom if raining). \nABOUT LOTUS HEAD \nLotus Head is a transcendental lounge and kirtan band from Viroqua Wisconsin. They perform mostly original kirtan compositions designed to assist the audience in connecting with their wholeness. Lotus Head events are also designed to increase the audience’s manifesting abilities by raising their vibrations with the music\, ancient chants and new powerful affirmations.

SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Sunrise Observance
DESCRIPTION:Every Summer Solstice\, we stand and greet the sun as it enters the Kinstone Circle at sunrise. You are invited to join us as we recognize the passing of the seasons from Spring to Summer in this auspicious and sacred stone place. \nWe will gather at 5:15 am to be ready to witness the rising of the sun – actual sunrise is at 5:23am but it is usually 5:30 before it visible in the stone circle. Given fair weather and a clear horizon\, we will watch the sun as it crests the ridge and is ushered through the Summer Solstice Corridor into the circle. It will set its golden glow upon anyone standing in the middle of the circle. Further\, it will cast the shadow of those persons standing there onto the stone directly in the path of the sun. This stone happens to be the marker for the exact point of WINTER Solstice SUNSET!  Isn’t that fun fact!? Truly magical! \nGiven cloudy weather\, we will not see the sunrise or the shadow\, but will greet it ceremoniously regardless! This will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading. Witness the arrival of Summer. Send Spring on its way with blessings. This gathering will last about 45 minutes. Although the actual sunrise is at 5:23am\, the topography of Kinstone means it will be just a little different. Be there early\, just in case! Feel free to arrive as early as 5:00am if you so wish. \nCOST: Free\, No Registration Required\, Family Friendly\, No Pets \nDate: Friday\, June 21\, 2019   Time: 5:15 am – 6:15am \nThis event is outdoors and will be held rain or shine. Please note that we will not see the alignment if it is cloudy or if the horizon is obstructed by morning mist\, fog\, rain\, or clouds. If it is raining or storming we shall gather indoors in the Kinstone Education Center. Dress for the weather\, be prepared for a dewy walk in grass; wear appropriate footwear\, scarves\, hats\, a blanket\, and even gloves if needed! Bring your own insect repellent if you wish! \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the Summer Solstice is Friday\, June 21\, 2019 at 10:54am CDT.

I came to [The True Love Experience] to find peace\, and I found it. Thank you.” \n“Today [at the True Love Experience] I cleared past trauma\, hurt\, anger\, and everything that doesn’t serve a purpose anymore in my life. IT FEELS AMAZING! It was hard work\, painful\, challenging. I cried the hardest I’ve cried in my life. It was a major release\, beautiful energy transformation. I AM READY to fully step into my spiritual gifts. I forever have LOVE\, gratitude for Kristine Kieland and Mary Bauer for helping me step into my new phase and energy.” \n“I’ve had HUGE awarenesses since the event. I own my thoughts now. I have a new way of thinking and not projecting. It feels much better. Thanks for doing the work you both do.” \n“This was such a loving\, safe\, and needed experience for me. I was able to let go of past trauma and move forward in my journey. The joy I felt afterward had me giggling like a kid again! Thank you Mary and Kristine for this experience…it truly was AMAZING!” \n“An amazing event! I feel like the weight of the world was lifted from me.” \n“Just WOW. I feel totally transformed!! The guided meditation\, the breathwork\, and the healing was MIND BLOWING!!! I feel like a new person/soul\, thank you lovely healers for helping me remember who I TRULY AM!” \n“The True Love Experience helped me clear guilt\, unworthiness\, fear\, and grief\, but also helped clear so many things from my childhood to teenage years to young adult years\, and I’m so ready to clear and release more so I can truly live in TRUE LOVE.” \n“I went back to the womb during my True Love Experience and healed everything from that point forward. I used the name exercise that was taught\, and visualized my name as I called my energy back. I started seeing ‘Diane’ spelled with 1 N instead of my lifelong 2 N’s. The name on my birth certificate is spelled with 1 N\, but I’ve never spelled it that way. Weirder still\, when I type my signature on emails now\, I’m suddenly missing the second N and have to go back and add it. I’ve never misspelled my own name! It’s a bit scary but feels right too\, as if this is another part of who I’ve always been that is just now revealing itself. My awareness is that I can no longer live with anything less than my authentic nature.”\n__________________________________________________ \nPRESENTERS: \nKRISTINE KIELAND\nKristine is a multi-discipline intuitive teacher\, healer\, and coach.

SUMMARY:Equinox Evening: Sunset and Moonrise - Vernal Equinox Observance
DESCRIPTION:THIS is an EVENING event to see our SUNSET ALIGNMENT (there is a separate event for morning to see our sunrise alignment). \nSpring Equinox is one of those astronomically significant solar events when the sun is midpoint in its journey between the Summer and Winter Solstices. It is traditionally seen as a time of balance. The light of day and the dark of night are equal. It is a time for new beginnings\, growth\, and seeking the joy of the light. At Kinstone we have a unique ALIGNMENT between the setting sun and the stones known as Atlas and Lancelot that is visible during the SUNSET on Equinox. Come and see! \nJoin us to celebrate the passing of the seasons from Winter to Spring. Celebrate the warming of the Earth and the long awaited time for putting out new growth from the long winter’s root work that has been underway. We will celebrate together at sunset! \nSPECIAL CELESTIAL EVENT in 2019: There is a FULL MOON on the same day as the Vernal Equinox!! Weather permitting\, we will see a marvelous moonrise as well as a wonderful sunset this evening!   \nCOST: Free\, No Registration Required \nDate: Wednesday\, March 20   Time: 6:45pm – 7:45pm \n\n\nCome experience the Vernal Equinox sunset (and MOONRISE!) as we gather near the stones known as Lancelot and Atlas for a short opening rite and reading. Given fair weather and clear skies as the sun sets in the West\, we will witness the light as it passes through the “Wise One” (Lancelot) and enlightens the “World” (Atlas). If the sun light is strong enough and unobstructed by clouds on the horizon\, we will see a line of polka-dots on Atlas and a select few folks may be able to “catch the sun” as it aligns with the perforations in Lancelot. We will begin watching for opportunities to Catch the Sun at 7:00pm! \nGiven cloudy or rainy weather\, we will not see the moonrise or the sunset or the alignment\, but will greet these celestial events ceremoniously regardless! This will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading. After our readings\, if the sun is visible\, participants may wish to try to “catch the sun”\, take photos\, and watch the sun go down as we welcome Spring. This year\, (again\, weather permitting) we will have the special treat of seeing a VERY FULL moon rising in the east as the sun sets in the west. We will witness the arrival of Spring and send Winter on its way with our blessings. \nThis gathering will last about an hour. Actual moonrise is at 7:00pm and actual sunset is at 7:29pm. However\, with the topography specific to Kinstone\, the times we witness these is always somewhat different. \n\nIf you wish to be given a chance to “catch the sun”\, please Contact Us to sign up by sending an email stating “I want to catch the sun” and include your full name and email address with the subject “Catch the sun”. During this event\, guests who have signed up will be invited\, in order of sign-up time\, to catch the sun as and if weather and sunlight conditions permit. As many as we can get through will be given a chance to be photographed with their hands catching the sun – only if weather and sunset conditions permit the phenomenon to occur! \n\nThis event is outdoors and will be held rain or shine. Again\, please note that we will not see the moonrise\, sunset\, or the alignment if it is cloudy or if the horizon is obstructed by mist\, fog or clouds. If it is raining\, we will gather indoors in the Kinstone Education Center. Cancellation will occur in case of a major storm. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, scarves\, hats and gloves if chilly! Be prepared for it to be breezy and cooler than expected up here on the ridge! \nInteresting facts: The exact time of the astronomical Vernal Equinox is Wednesday\, March 20\, 2019\, at 4:58pm CDT. The exact time of the Full Moon on the same day is 8:42pm.

SUMMARY:Equinox Morning: Sunrise and Moonset - Vernal Equinox Observance
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nTHIS is a MORNING event to see our SUNRISE ALIGNMENT (there is a separate event for evening to see our sunset alignment). \nSpring Equinox is one of those astronomically significant solar events when the sun is midpoint in its journey between the Summer and Winter Solstices. It is traditionally seen as a time of balance. The light of day and the dark of night are equal. It is a time for new beginnings\, growth\, and seeking the joy of the light. At Kinstone we have a unique ALIGNMENT through the Equinox Window in The Three Witnesses sculpture that is visible during the sunrise on Equinox. Come and see! \nJoin us to celebrate the passing of the seasons from Winter to Spring. Celebrate the warming of the Earth and the long awaited time for putting out new growth from the long winter’s root work that has been underway. We will celebrate at sunrise on the Vernal Equinox as we look to see the equinox sunrise alignment between sun and stone here at Kinstone! \nSPECIAL CELESTIAL EVENT in 2019: There is a FULL MOON on the same day as the Vernal Equinox!! Weather permitting\, we will see a magnificent moonset as well as the glorious sunrise on this morning!   \nCOST: Free\, No Registration Required \nDate: Wednesday\, March 20   Time: 6:30am – 7:45am \n\n\nCome experience the Vernal Equinox sunrise (and MOONSET!) as we gather in the center of The Three Witnesses sculpture at Kinstone. Given fair weather and clear skies\, we will watch the nearly Full Moon set in the west and then also watch the morning sun as it crests the ridge and beams through the Equinox Window to light up the heart of the middle “witness”. Given cloudy or rainy weather\, we will not see the moonset or the sunrise\, but will greet these celestial events ceremoniously regardless! This will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading. After our readings\, if the sun is visible\, participants may wish to look at the alignment through the Equinox Window\, see the heart highlighted in the center stone Witness\, sit in the light of the sun\, take photos\, and greet the sunrise. We will witness the arrival of Spring and send Winter on its way with our blessings. This gathering will last about an hour and fifteen minutes. Actual moonset is at 7:19am and actual sunrise is at 7:21am. However\, with the topography specific to Kinstone\, the times we witness these is always somewhat different. \nThis event is outdoors and will be held rain or shine. Please note that we will not see the moonset\, sunrise\, and the alignment if it is cloudy or if the horizon is obstructed by early morning mist\, fog or clouds. If it is raining\, we will gather indoors in the Kinstone Education Center. Cancellation will occur in case of a major storm. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, scarves\, hats and gloves if chilly! Be prepared for it to be breezy and cool up here on the ridge! \nInteresting facts: The exact time of the astronomical Vernal Equinox is Wednesday\, March 20\, 2019\, at 4:58pm CDT.

SUMMARY:October Celestial Saunter - Full Moon Labyrinth Walk at Kinstone
DESCRIPTION:“Do you know the origin of that word ‘saunter?’ It’s a beautiful word. Away back in the Middle Ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land\, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going\, they would reply\, “A la sainte terre\,’ ‘To the Holy Land.’ And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers.” ~John Muir \nJoin us for an evening stroll in the Kinstone Labyrinth followed by stargazing and witnessing the rising of the full moon over the Kinstone Circle.  We will walk the labyrinth and then gather around a fire in the Stargazer Circle as we await star-shine and moonrise. Moonrise is officially at 6:38pm but will likely be delayed a few minutes on the horizon as seen from the circles at Kinstone. It’s the anniversary week of the building of the Kinstone Circle (Oct 18 – 28\, 2011) so Kristine may tell us a few stories of it’s creation as we stay warm by the fire. We may see the stars arrive as it gets dark and if we are really lucky we might even see some early evening meteors before the bright moon has risen too high as the Orionid meteor showers will still be happening through the 26th of October! When the moon appears we may witness it from the fire circle or the standing stones or the pond\, the chapel or the Three Witnesses\, or the dolmen or the labyrinth – all areas are beautiful places to stand in awe. \nCOST:  Free \nIMPORTANT:   Dress warmly! Bring a blanket to sit on and/or to stay warm. Bring a flashlight\, headlamp or lantern to see where you are walking if you plan to stay until dark. Bring a travel mug of hot tea or hot cocoa if you wish. This is a smoke-free\, alcohol free event. \nNOTE: The labyrinth is located on steep land and requires the ability to walk down-hill and then back up-hill. If you want to attend but are unable to walk the terrain\, you may stay in the Stargazer Circle and use a finger labyrinth (printed on paper) to participate in the labyrinth “walk”. \n“It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon.” -Galileo Galilei\, The Starry Messenger\, Venice 1610: “From Doubt to Astonishment” \n

SUMMARY:Ribbons of Intention Fire Ceremony (Annual)
DESCRIPTION:Ribbons of Intention Fire Ceremony (Annual)\n\n\n\n\nOctober 4 is the date designated as The Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. On this date each year we remove the ribbons that are tied to the Tree of Intention (a.k.a. Prayer Tree) in the Kinstone Chapel and burn them in the fire circle\, releasing the prayers and intentions written there\, to the Universe. This special event is marked by a brief ceremony that is free and open to the public. Check this page for the exact time of the ceremony as it may vary from year to year. \nRibbon Ceremony – 5:00pm – 7:00pm \nWe gather in the Kinstone Chapel to begin this ceremony. Everyone present is invited to take a ribbon and inscribe an intention upon it that expresses something to be released\, let go. These ribbons are tied to the Tree of Intention as all the intentions already on the tree are raised up in prayer. When ready\, all ribbons are removed from the Tree in the chapel\, counted and then placed into a basket. The basket is set at the feet of the little statue of St. Francis outside the chapel for a brief moment in a symbolic expression of gratitude for the holding of these prayers this year. The Tree of Intention remains empty until the participants return to the chapel after the fire ceremony. The basket of ribbons is carried with respect and honor to the Stargazer Circle where a fire is already burning in the fire pit. When gathered there\, we create a sacred space for this ceremony around the fire. We speak of Saint Francis and the significance of his story and how it relates to the Kinstone story. We read stories about him and prayers that are attributed to him. We state our purpose in burning the ribbons; we profess our willingness to release attachment to the outcome and express profound gratitude that our needs will be provided for in creative and sometimes unexpected ways.  The ribbons are then put into the fire\, releasing all the prayers\, all the intentions\, to the Universe. We say a prayer of thanksgiving. \nEveryone present is invited to proceed back to the Chapel. The Peace Prayer of St. Francis is recited as a single red ribbon\, with the intention for world peace inscribed upon it\, is placed onto the otherwise empty tree.  At this time\, everyone present is invited to take a ribbon\, inscribe a new intention upon it for the coming year and tie it to the tree. A new season begins. The ceremony is over. \nIf you are interested in participating\, just show up. No registration is required. There is no fee.

SUMMARY:Autumnal Equinox Observance – Sunset Gathering / Catch the Sun
DESCRIPTION:Due to the Sacred Sound for the Harvest Autumn Equinox Sunset Concert on September 22 (actual equinox)\, this annual Autumnal Equinox Sunset Observance event will be held on Sunday\, September 23\, 2018.  We apologize for any inconvenience due to prior misinformation.\n\n\nJoin us as we gather to observe the sunset alignment at Kinstone in celebration of the Autumnal Equinox. We will gather near the stones known as Lancelot and Atlas for a short opening rite and reading.  Sunset is at 7:02pm according to the charts\, but is often different when on  the ridge\, so we will begin watching for opportunities to Catch the Sun at 6:40!  Given fair weather and clear skies as the sun sets in the West\, we will witness the light as it passes through the “Wise One” (Lancelot) and enlightens the “World” (Atlas). If the sun light is strong enough and unobstructed by clouds on the horizon\, we will see a line of polka-dots on Atlas and a select few folks may be able to “catch the sun” as it aligns with the perforations in the Wise One. Given cloudy or rainy weather\, we will not see the sunset\, but will greet it ceremoniously regardless! \nCOST: Free\, No Registration Required \nDate: Sunday\, September 23\, 2018  Time: 6:30pm – 7:30pm: Sunset Gathering and Catching of the Sun \nIf you wish to be given a chance to “catch the sun”\, please Contact Us to sign up by sending an email stating “I want to catch the sun” and include your full name\, email address and phone number with the subject “Catch the sun”. Guests who have signed up will be called in order of sign-up time – as many as we can get through will be given a chance to be photographed with their hands catching the sun – only if weather and sunset conditions permit the phenomenon to occur! \nThis event is outdoors and will be held rain or shine. Please note that we will not see the alignment if it is cloudy or if the horizon is obstructed by evening mist\, fog or clouds. If it is raining\, we may gather indoors in the Kinstone Education Center. Cancellation will occur in case of a major storm. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, raincoats\, scarves\, hats and gloves if chilly or wet! \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the Autumnal Equinox is Saturday\, September 22\, 2018 at 8:24pm CDT.
