The rising (nearly) FULL MOON will be seen (weather permitting) as it climbs up from the eastern horizon while we welcome it with awe \nAccording to Frank\, the gong is a psycho-acoustic gateway to heightened states of awareness and consciousness. It is an ideal tool for stress reduction. Gongs and singing bowls are useful in resolving emotional and physical dissonance.

SUMMARY:2nd Saturday Monthly Community Healing Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Kinstone + Connections = Kinections!\nAre you looking for more opportunities to deepen your connections to self and others? Come explore the mysteries of your inner landscape while sharing energies with the mystical\, magical landscapes of Kinstone. \nJoin us for monthly Kinections through HEALING RITUALS on second Saturdays (May thru Oct). \n\n\n“Ritual is called for because our soul communicates things to us that the body translates as need\, or want\, or absence. So we enter into ritual in order to respond to the call of the soul.” \n― Malidoma Patrice Somé\, Ritual: Power\, Healing and Community\n\n\nJoin us for this monthly community healing ritual led by Erica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC\, occurring on the second Saturday of each month May through October from 3pm to 6pm. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. \nDuring these events\, we will come together and create a ritual that emerges from the rhythm of all who are gathered\, their current needs\, and the guidance and support of the elemental beings of the fire (ancestors)\, water\, earth\, nature\, and minerals. \nWhat gets created in group ritual arises out of the participants voices. Together\, we will create something NEW based on the relationships each participant carries with them into our circle from their own inner wisdom that may or may not be already known. \nThis event is highly participatory. You are asked to arrive with an open heart and mind and a willingness to learn from the Elements themselves\, as well as willingness to support your fellow participants. Alcohol and drug use are not allowed during these events. \nCost: These rituals are donation based + the entrance fee to Kinstone ($10). Our hope is to keep these accessible to any who are feeling the call to community and nature-based healing. If the cost of entrance to Kinstone is prohibitive\, please reach out\, we have a scholarship fund for those in need. \nThe energy exchange happening within Kinstone during time is so important. The more who join in\, the more connections can be made and deepened. Come on\, join in\, and make a “kinection”! \n\nMonthly dates / themes; always the second Saturday of the month: \nMay 11 – Dreaming with the Ancestors (FIRE)\nJune 8 – Grief\, Peace\, and Reconciliation (WATER)\nJuly 13 – Purpose and Presence (MINERAL)\nAugust 10 – Mother of Us All (EARTH)\nSeptember 14 – Re-wildling: All Our Relations (NATURE)\nOctober 12 – Dreaming with the Ancestors (FIRE)\n\nAbout the leader: \nErica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC\, is a licensed professional counselor in private practice Winona\, MN. Erica has taught mindfulness meditation in diverse settings such as universities\, corporate environments\, and local organizations.  She uses creative and empowering methods to evoke client-centered transformation and provide individuals\, couples\, and families with tools to take and use over their lifetime. Some of the methods she uses are group and community ritual facilitation\, somatic and body-centered therapy\, focusing\, spiritual re-wilding\, earth and nature-based therapy\, and Indigenous African technologies. Ritual is at the core of all that she offers. \nErica’s awareness and knowledge of ritual and her relationships with the Elements have been inspired and encouraged by her teachers\, Dagara Elder Malidoma Somé and Elder Theresa Sykes Brittany.  Read more about Erica at her website https://ericathibodeaux.com/.

SUMMARY:Self-Illumination Through Art and Words
DESCRIPTION:SELF–ILLUMINATION THROUGH ART AND WORDS\nCalling all humans! If you are a seeker\, someone who wants to find out more about yourself\, and find a way to express who you really are\, then this is a sure path to that end. We will be creative\, artistic and we will use our words. No experience necessary! In one six-hour workshop\, we will delve into ourselves and create a work that uses both art and writing as a form of self-expression and self-knowledge and self-illumination. \nYou will be presented with a plain Styrofoam mannequin head and a lot of decorative choices such as beads\, feathers\, paints\, sequins\, buttons\, you name it. You can even bring your own materials to use if you want. You will look at the mannequin as if it is a mirror and you will create the one you see there – yes\, yourself. \nAfter lunch (bring your own!) and some discussion\, you will write to that reflection. Any words you choose will be the right words – they may be poetry\, memoir\, possibly even fiction (if you feel that who you are requires a mask).  At the end\, you will walk out of this workshop with a better sense of who you are and what you can accomplish in your life. You will have gained new insights and you may feel more settled\, peaceful and firmly on your way. \nYou don’t need to be an artist to join in. You don’t need to be a writer to be a part of this. You just need to be YOU. All you need to be is…human! \nPlease bring your own sack lunch.

SUMMARY:Kin Spirit Nature Spirit Doll Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Kinstone + Connections = Kinections!\nAre you looking for more opportunities to deepen your connections to Nature\, self and others? Come experience the beauty of creative expression – join us for this art workshop to create a nature spirit doll called a Kin Spirit that includes at least one item found in nature at Kinstone! \n\nCheri Bunker will guide us during this three hour creative workshop. All supplies and tools are provided for your use and you will go home with your finished Kin Spirit nature spirit doll. \nYou will create your very own Kin Spirit beginning with a guided meditation. Questions like\, “Who is my Kin Spirit?”\, “What does she/he represent?”\, and “What part of me does she/he embody?” will help shape the emerging spirit of the doll. \nYou will create your Kin Spirit using natural items such as twigs\, branches\, stems\, flowers\, fibers\, fabric\, stones\, botanicals\, shells\, and more. Items collected from Kinstone will be included in available supplies; however\, there will also be time for the group to go out into nature (weather permitting) to find a special item from the Kinstone Prairie or other parts of the Kinstone grounds to include in your Kin Spirit doll. \nThe limbs and body may be twigs\, tree branches or stems wrapped with your choice of fiber\, fabric or both. Fabric\, fibers\, shells\, stones\, botanicals\, or other items from nature can be used as embellishments. Prefabricated\, molded faces will be available to paint or you may choose one of the pre-painted air dried clay faces\, or other natural item you may find like a nut or stone. Crown your Kin Spirit with fiber or leaves or other natural hair in any way you feel is right: beautiful and flowing\, wild and frizzy\, short and soft\, spiky\, or any other way. If there is something special you would like to add to your own Kin Spirit doll\, please bring it with you! \nAll supplies are provided. The sky is the limit as to what you can create with the added energy of Kinstone. \nNo experience is necessary. There is no right or wrong way to create these beautiful works of art. Just come ready to connect\, create and have fun! \nDate: Saturday\, July 20 \nTime: 1:00pm – 4:00pm \nCost: $45 \nTicket includes instruction and all required materials. \n  \n\nWhat is a Kin Spirit?  \nA Kin Spirit is a spirit doll created from items found in nature\, including items found and collected from the Kinstone property. The doll becomes your kin – someone related to you and even part of you\, with deep soul bonds to you. \nWhat is a Spirit Doll? \nWe love this description from Friends of the Forest: “Spirit dolls are handmade dolls that are infused with the energy and essence of nature. They can be made using materials such as twigs\, leaves\, feathers\, and stones – all found in our natural surroundings. By using these materials\, we not only celebrate the beauty of nature but also bring its healing properties into our lives. \nCreating spirit dolls from nature is a meditative process that allows us to slow down\, connect with our surroundings\, and tap into our creativity. As we gather materials from the earth\, we become more mindful of our environment and develop a deeper appreciation for its wonders. \nMoreover\, spirit dolls serve as powerful reminders of our connection to the natural world. Placing them in our homes or sacred spaces can help create a sense of peace and harmony. They can also serve as talismans for protection or symbols for manifesting intentions.” \n \n\nAbout your Instructor: \nCheri Bunker is a lifelong crafter and has over 20 years of experience presenting and facilitating many different types of classes and programs.

SUMMARY:2nd Saturday Monthly Community Healing Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Kinstone + Connections = Kinections!\nAre you looking for more opportunities to deepen your connections to self and others? Come explore the mysteries of your inner landscape while sharing energies with the mystical\, magical landscapes of Kinstone. \nJoin us for monthly Kinections through HEALING RITUALS on second Saturdays (May thru Oct). \n\n\n“Ritual is called for because our soul communicates things to us that the body translates as need\, or want\, or absence. So we enter into ritual in order to respond to the call of the soul.” \n― Malidoma Patrice Somé\, Ritual: Power\, Healing and Community\n\n\nJoin us for this monthly community healing ritual led by Erica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC\, occurring on the second Saturday of each month May through October from 3pm to 6pm. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. \nDuring these events\, we will come together and create a ritual that emerges from the rhythm of all who are gathered\, their current needs\, and the guidance and support of the elemental beings of the fire (ancestors)\, water\, earth\, nature\, and minerals. \nWhat gets created in group ritual arises out of the participants voices. Together\, we will create something NEW based on the relationships each participant carries with them into our circle from their own inner wisdom that may or may not be already known. \nThis event is highly participatory. You are asked to arrive with an open heart and mind and a willingness to learn from the Elements themselves\, as well as willingness to support your fellow participants. Alcohol and drug use are not allowed during these events. \nCost: These rituals are donation based + the entrance fee to Kinstone ($10). Our hope is to keep these accessible to any who are feeling the call to community and nature-based healing. If the cost of entrance to Kinstone is prohibitive\, please reach out\, we have a scholarship fund for those in need. \nThe energy exchange happening within Kinstone during time is so important. The more who join in\, the more connections can be made and deepened. Come on\, join in\, and make a “kinection”! \n\nMonthly dates / themes; always the second Saturday of the month: \nMay 11 – Dreaming with the Ancestors (FIRE)\nJune 8 – Grief\, Peace\, and Reconciliation (WATER)\nJuly 13 – Purpose and Presence (MINERAL)\nAugust 10 – Mother of Us All (EARTH)\nSeptember 14 – Re-wildling: All Our Relations (NATURE)\nOctober 12 – Dreaming with the Ancestors (FIRE)\n\nAbout the leader: \nErica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC\, is a licensed professional counselor in private practice Winona\, MN. Erica has taught mindfulness meditation in diverse settings such as universities\, corporate environments\, and local organizations.  She uses creative and empowering methods to evoke client-centered transformation and provide individuals\, couples\, and families with tools to take and use over their lifetime. Some of the methods she uses are group and community ritual facilitation\, somatic and body-centered therapy\, focusing\, spiritual re-wilding\, earth and nature-based therapy\, and Indigenous African technologies. Ritual is at the core of all that she offers. \nErica’s awareness and knowledge of ritual and her relationships with the Elements have been inspired and encouraged by her teachers\, Dagara Elder Malidoma Somé and Elder Theresa Sykes Brittany.  Read more about Erica at her website https://ericathibodeaux.com/.

SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Sunrise Observance
DESCRIPTION:Kinstone + Connections = Kinections!\nAre you looking for more opportunities to deepen your connections to Nature\, self and others? Come witness the arrival of Summer\, connect with the seasons\, and share energies with the mystical\, magical landscapes of Kinstone. \n\nEvery Summer Solstice\, we stand and greet the sun as it enters the Great Stone 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. \nIf it is not raining we will gather at 5:00 am in the Great Stone Circle in time to share a very short ritual before we 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. Feel free to arrive as early as 4:45am if you wish (that sounds sooooo early – but don’t go back to sleep!). \nGiven 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 in the center onto the stone directly in the path of the sun – the “Shadow Stone”. \nFun fact: The Shadow Stone also marks the exact point of WINTER Solstice SUNSET\, i.e.  summer solstice sunrise and winter solstice sunset occur along the exact same line!  Truly magical! \nGiven cloudy weather\, we will not see the sunrise or our shadow\, but will greet the dawn of Summer ceremoniously regardless! This will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading. Feel free to bring a reading or quote to share. Witness the arrival of Summer. Send Spring on its way with blessings. \nCOST: admission to Kinstone (pay in advance online OR place your cash admission in the Blue Payment Box attached to the Information Sign Board near the parking areas); No Registration Required \nDate: Thursday\, June 20\, 2024 (rain date: June 21) \nTime: 5:00am – 6:00am \nThis event is outdoors. 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 this event will be cancelled. Dress for the weather\, be prepared to walk on dewy\, wet grass paths; bring a blanket or camp chair if you wish for your comfort; wear appropriate footwear\, jackets\, scarves\, hats\, and even gloves if needed! Bring your own insect repellent if you wish! \nCancellation will occur in case of RAIN. Cancellations will be posted ONLY on THIS event page and on the corresponding Facebook event page no sooner than 4 hours and no later than 1 hour before the scheduled start time for this event. If this event is cancelled due to weather\, we will try again on the following morning (June 21) at the same time – assuming the weather has improved. \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the astronomical Summer Solstice is Thursday\, June 20 at 3:50 pm CDT.  \nPhoto credit: Kristine Beck

SUMMARY:2nd Saturday Monthly Community Healing Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Kinstone + Connections = Kinections!\nAre you looking for more opportunities to deepen your connections to self and others? Come explore the mysteries of your inner landscape while sharing energies with the mystical\, magical landscapes of Kinstone. \nJoin us for monthly Kinections through HEALING RITUALS on second Saturdays (May thru Oct). \n\n\n“Ritual is called for because our soul communicates things to us that the body translates as need\, or want\, or absence. So we enter into ritual in order to respond to the call of the soul.” \n― Malidoma Patrice Somé\, Ritual: Power\, Healing and Community\n\n\nJoin us for this monthly community healing ritual led by Erica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC\, occurring on the second Saturday of each month May through October from 3pm to 6pm. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. \nDuring these events\, we will come together and create a ritual that emerges from the rhythm of all who are gathered\, their current needs\, and the guidance and support of the elemental beings of the fire (ancestors)\, water\, earth\, nature\, and minerals. \nWhat gets created in group ritual arises out of the participants voices. Together\, we will create something NEW based on the relationships each participant carries with them into our circle from their own inner wisdom that may or may not be already known. \nThis event is highly participatory. You are asked to arrive with an open heart and mind and a willingness to learn from the Elements themselves\, as well as willingness to support your fellow participants. Alcohol and drug use are not allowed during these events. \nCost: These rituals are donation based + the entrance fee to Kinstone ($10). Our hope is to keep these accessible to any who are feeling the call to community and nature-based healing. If the cost of entrance to Kinstone is prohibitive\, please reach out\, we have a scholarship fund for those in need. \nThe energy exchange happening within Kinstone during time is so important. The more who join in\, the more connections can be made and deepened. Come on\, join in\, and make a “kinection”! \n\nMonthly dates / themes; always the second Saturday of the month: \nMay 11 – Dreaming with the Ancestors (FIRE)\nJune 8 – Grief\, Peace\, and Reconciliation (WATER)\nJuly 13 – Purpose and Presence (MINERAL)\nAugust 10 – Mother of Us All (EARTH)\nSeptember 14 – Re-wildling: All Our Relations (NATURE)\nOctober 12 – Dreaming with the Ancestors (FIRE)\n\nAbout the leader: \nErica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC\, is a licensed professional counselor in private practice Winona\, MN. Erica has taught mindfulness meditation in diverse settings such as universities\, corporate environments\, and local organizations.  She uses creative and empowering methods to evoke client-centered transformation and provide individuals\, couples\, and families with tools to take and use over their lifetime. Some of the methods she uses are group and community ritual facilitation\, somatic and body-centered therapy\, focusing\, spiritual re-wilding\, earth and nature-based therapy\, and Indigenous African technologies. Ritual is at the core of all that she offers. \nErica’s awareness and knowledge of ritual and her relationships with the Elements have been inspired and encouraged by her teachers\, Dagara Elder Malidoma Somé and Elder Theresa Sykes Brittany.  Read more about Erica at her website https://ericathibodeaux.com/.

SUMMARY:Drum Making Workshop with Wayne Manthey
DESCRIPTION:“The healing properties of a drum are found in the elements that make it: wood and animal hide. Making personal frame drums is a journey that is individually and spiritually meaningful… The drum symbolizes the heartbeat of life; the heartbeat of community. It is not simply an art form\, but a tool for cleansing\, centering and focusing one’s intentions for health and happiness.” ~ Wayne Manthey \n\n\nIn this educational workshop you will make your own one-sided drum. When people create their own drums they can’t help but develop deep connections to it. The drum you create becomes an extension of yourself and a gateway to greater understanding of your connection to all. \nMaking your own drum is a journey that you will remember for the rest of your life. It takes about 4 hours to make your drum. \n\n\n\nClass size is limited so each person can get enough individual attention during the workshop. All you need to do is show up with a bit of curiosity and a desire to have a drum of your own. That’s all you need\, really! \n\n\nWe start with a pre-constructed frame\, deer hides\, and a bucket of walnut stain. First\, you choose your frame\, lay out the hides\, and take a few moments of reflection to connect to this medium. After cutting out the drum circles\, Wayne will lead the group one step at a time\, through the rest of the process. All you need is to be there and do it! \n\nThere are no words that can completely describe what it feels like to make your own drum. Come experience it for yourself!\n\nIMPORTANT: THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE CLASSES\, YOU WILL SIGN UP FOR ONE AND ONLY ONE DATE \nCHOOSE ONE DATE:  Saturday\, June 1\, 2024  OR  Saturday\, September 7\, 2024 \nTime: 12:30pm to 4:30pm (plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early!) \nLocation: the Kinstone Visitor Center \nCOST:  13 Inch Drum: $155  /  16 Inch Drum: $180 \nTicket includes instruction\, all required materials\, and general admission to Kinstone. \n\n\nThere are No Refunds unless the event is cancelled by Kinstone. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout your instructor: Wayne Manthey  \nBased in Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, USA\, Wayne Manthey is a nationally known drum maker and teacher of drum making. He has been making drums for over 33 years. His approach is spiritual\, honoring the animals who provided the hides and the trees who donated the wood. \nWayne began by making his own drums which eventually became a true calling to create drums and to teach others to do the same. He has a gallery and studio in Minneapolis where buyers and curious individuals can view his works of art.

SUMMARY:Walk as One at 1 - Labyrinth Walk for World Labyrinth Day
DESCRIPTION:Come walk the Kinstone Labyrinth with Kristine – for World Labyrinth Day. We will NOT have a program\, but rather\, a dedicated time for a group walk of the labyrinth. Come and walk for peace! \nWorld Labyrinth Day is an annual event sponsored by The Labyrinth Society. It is a worldwide action with participants gathering at labyrinths at 1:00pm local time to “Walk as One at One” to co-create a rolling wave of peaceful energy across the globe. Every year on the first Saturday in May thousands of people around the world participate in this moving meditation for world peace and celebration of the labyrinth experience. \nThis is a day to explore and experience labyrinths. Labyrinths have been created since ancient times and have been walked by people of all ages as a mindfulness activity\, to focus\, increase connectedness\, calm anxiety\, lull head chatter and promote mental and emotional wellbeing. Open yourself to the calming and centering space in your own inner landscape as you walk the path. \nPlease join all who gather to Walk as One at One at the Kinstone Labyrinth to celebrate World Labyrinth Day. Bring your kids\, family\, friends! No registration required\, just pay your admission to Kinstone in advance online or pay in the Kinstone Gift Shop when you arrive (we accept cards\, cash\, paypal\, and venmo). Plan to spend some time before or after enjoying the grounds. \nWhat: Group Labyrinth Walk  \nWhere:  Kinstone Labyrinth  \nWhen:  Saturday\, May 4\, 2024\, 1:00pm  (Arrive early enough to get to the labyrinth by 1!) \nCost:  included in admission to Kinstone ($10/person); pay your admission online in advance or in person in the Kinstone Gift Shop when you arrive. \nNo Registration Required \nThis event will be held Rain or Shine! Dress for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes! Having said that\, if it is storming with thunder\, lightning and/or high winds\, please take shelter and wait to walk until the storm has passed. \nImportant: The Kinstone Labyrinth is located down a steep hill and may not be accessible for persons who have difficulty walking hills and uneven terrain. If you are unable or would prefer not to walk\, we have labyrinth designs printed on paper that folks can use as finger labyrinths. You can pick up a paper labyrinth in the Visitor Center. Use it in the Visitor Center or take it with you to use while sitting in the Dragon’s Keep\, Chapel\, or on the Porch\, or at home. Thank you!! \nWORLD LABYRINTH DAY = MAY 4\, 2024 \nAs stated by The Labyrinth Society\, there are many ways to participate: \n\nWalk a labyrinth at 1:00PM local time to co-create a rolling wave of peace passing from one time zone to the next around the globe.\nWalk alone or with others\nLet your fingers do the walking by using a finger labyrinth\nCreate labyrinth art\nBuild a permanent or temporary labyrinth\n\nWhat is a labyrinth?  It is a single path\, of ancient geometric form\, leading the walker in to a center and back out again. The meandering nature of the path is a metaphor for life experience or perhaps a reflection of our desire to be grounded and find our way to “center” (i.e. become centered). A labyrinth is not to be confused with a maze. A maze is a problem to be solved and designed to create confusion and often frustration. The labyrinth is designed to provide calm\, clarity\, and harmony. The form of the labyrinth is ancient; it spans thousands of years and has been found on every continent except Antarctica. \nHunt for labyrinths wherever you roam by searching the “World Wide Labyrinth Locator” – check it out: how many can you find in your state? how about in your zip code? You may be surprised!

SUMMARY:First Sunrise of Spring - Vernal Equinox Morning Observance
DESCRIPTION:First Sunrise of Spring – Equinox Morning Observance          Watch the First Rays of Spring Sun Enlighten the Heart Stone \nNote: this sunrise event is intentionally scheduled for the day AFTER Equinox; our sunset event is on the actual day of Equinox! \nWeather and snow conditions permitting\, we will be outdoors as we stand and watch the sunrise. If the weather is bad (i.e. winter storms)\, we will cancel – watch for cancellation updates (if any) on the day of the event.  \nThe actual time of Equinox is 10:06 pm CDT on Tuesday – so this (Wednesday morning) is the time to witness the first sunrise of Spring! \nAt Kinstone we have a unique alignment visible only at Equinox at sunrise\, we call it The Heart Alignment. Stand with us in The Three Witnesses sculpture as the sun aligns through the Equinox Window and highlights the Heart Stone. Come and see! \nVernal (Spring) Equinox is an astronomically significant solar event. It occurs when the sun is midpoint in its journey from Winter Solstice to Summer Solstice. The sun appears to rise at due east and set at due west. It is traditionally seen as a time of balance. The light of day and the dark of night are equal. It is the herald of spring; a time for new beginnings\, growth\, and seeking the joy of the light. \nCOST: admission to Kinstone\, $10/person\, (pay in advance online OR pay in person in the Gift Shop upon arrival – please get here early enough to do that before the event begins). No Registration Required. \nDate: Wednesday\, March 20\, 2024  Time: 6:30am – 8:00am \nCome at 6:30 to enjoy the predawn horizons and our brief program before we stand to watch the sun arrive. \nWe will 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 standing stone\, known as the “Heart Stone”. Given cloudy weather\, we will not see the sunrise\, but will greet it ceremoniously regardless. \n\n\nThis will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading to welcome Spring. After the reading\, if the sun is visible\, participants may wish to watch 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. \nDress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, jackets\, scarves\, hats and gloves! Bring a camp chair or blanket to sit on\, for your comfort\, if you wish. Be prepared for it to be breezy and cool up here on the ridge! (Many people underestimate the wind and cold.) \nThis event is outdoors and will be held only in good weather. If it is raining or snowing\, this event will be cancelled.  Cancellations will be posted only on this event page and on the corresponding Facebook event page at least one (1) hour before the scheduled start time for this event. \n\nTRADITIONAL INFO: The Celtic Wheel of the Year and other pagan traditions call this day “Ostara”. Ostara originates from celebrations dedicated to the German goddess Eostre. This is considered to be a precursor to the Christian celebration of Easter. The beginning of spring\, Vernal Equinox / Ostara is a good time to plant seeds – both literally and figuratively. This is also a good time to begin acting on the intentions you set during Winter Solstice (Yule\, Dec 2o-22) and St. Brigid’s Day (Imbolc\, Feb 1). The seeds you plant at Vernal Equinox/Ostara will be ready for harvest during the warmer months and the sacred days of  May Day (Beltane\, May 1-5)\, Summer Solstice (Litha\, June 20-22) and  celebrations of the first harvest (Lughnasadh\, August 1). \nHAPPY SPRING! \nActual sunrise is expected at 7:08am for our location. However\, with the topography specific to Kinstone\, the time we witness it may be just a bit later.  \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the astronomical Vernal Equinox is Tuesday\, March 19\, 2024\, at 10:06pm CDT.   \nPhoto credit: Kristine Beck

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 sunlight is strong enough and unobstructed by clouds on the horizon\, we will see the alignment and a few folks may be able to “catch the sun”. We will begin watching for opportunities to Catch the Sun immediately after our readings. \nDress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, jackets\, scarves\, hats and gloves. Bring a camp chair or blanket to sit on\, for your comfort\, if you wish. Be prepared for it to be breezy and cool up here on the ridge.

After that\, anyone attending can try this on a first-come basis. As many as we can get through will be given a chance to be photographed with their hands catching the sun – bring a friend who can be your photographer! \n\nHAPPY SPRING! \nActual sunset is expected to occur at 7:18pm for our location. However\, with the topography specific to Kinstone\, the time we witness it is always just a bit earlier than expected.  \n The exact time of the astronomical Vernal Equinox is Tuesday\, March 19\, 2024\, at 10:06pm CDT.  \nPhoto credit: Kristine Beck
