SUMMARY:New Moon Awakening: Celestial Sisterhood Women's Circle
DESCRIPTION:All women are invited to join our monthly women’s circle around the fire and under the new moon starting on May 15! \nNew Moon Awakening: The Celestial Sisterhood is a monthly women’s gathering held at Kinstone generally on the Friday closest to the New Moon in the same month. Under the embrace of the new moon\, this event\, facilitated by Sierra Lynn of Yog Collective or Deanna Skroch\, invites women into a profound exploration of self and sisterhood here at this sacred stone sanctuary where the wisdom of the earth and the cosmos is embodied. \nIn this sacred space\, we will experience: \n\nIntentional movement that harmonizes our bodies with the rhythms of nature\, awakening our innate energy and grounding our spirits.\nGuided breathwork to deepen our connection to the divine within\, inviting clarity and the release of old patterns as we prepare to set our intentions of rebirth.\nEmotive dialogue\, to honor each woman’s story\, fostering a rich tapestry of shared experiences and insights. Our connection practices will cultivate a deep sense of unity\, allowing us to celebrate the power of vulnerability and the strength found in sisterhood.\n\nCloaked in the elements and held by the fire\, we close our gathering with meaningful ritual\, aligning our intentions with the lunar cycle and invoking the transformative energy of the new moon. Join us here for a journey of awakening and renewal\, as we embrace the magic of the new moon and the celestial sisterhood that binds us all. \nAfter the event ends\, all participants are asked to leave Kinstone in a timely manner. If you wish to wander the grounds\, please come earlier in the day\, prior to the start of the event. \n\nMonthly schedule: generally the second Friday of the month (usually the closest Friday to the new moon) from May through October \nDates: May 15\, June 12\, July 10\, August 14\, September 11\, and October 9 \nTime: 6:30pm – 8:30pm \nLocation: Around the Fire in the Stargazer Circle at Kinstone\, S3439 Cole Bluff Lane\, Fountain City\, Wisconsin 54629 \nCost: These monthly new moon gatherings are donation based PLUS the entrance fee to Kinstone ($10). Plan to arrive early enough to pay admission prior to the event. The Visitor Center will remain open until 6:45pm on these event nights to accommodate this. \nOur hope is to keep these accessible to any women who are feeling the call to community and celestial sisterhood. If the cost of entrance to Kinstone is prohibitive\, please reach out\, we have a scholarship fund for those in need. Consider a Season Pass to Kinstone if you plan to attend these and/or other Kinstone admission+ donation-based events regularly! \nNo pre-registration  is required; just show up with your Kinstone admission (pay in the Visitor Center before the event or check in at the Visitor Center if you have paid in advance or have your season pass) and bring a free-will donation for your facilitator (cash is appreciated and will be collected by the facilitator during the event). \nThe Visitor Center will be kept open on New Moon Awakening evenings until at least 6:45pm to accommodate folks coming in for these events.

SUMMARY:2026 Portage for a Purpose 5K Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this unique\, mostly uphill 5k event that carries a powerful message and raises awareness about mental illness and suicide. \nIntrepid souls will walk and some will carry canoes as they journey together from Hwy 35 up County Road M to Kinstone\,commemorating the last few miles of the original 313-mile Portage for a Purpose journey made by Evan Hansen in 2021. Evan will lead the way as he portages the original canoe and brings it again to rest in the center of the Great Stone Circle on the stone known as “Eternity”. The uphill path and burden of a canoe symbolize the burdens we all carry in life. Will you walk with him? No need to carry a canoe – unless you want to – join us on this walk to raise awareness about mental illness and suicide. \nAfter the walk\, join us for a special fire ceremony at the Stargazer Circle\, where messages will be offered and\, conditions permitting\, ceremoniously burned.You may write messages to loved ones and share stories. Refreshments will be available inside the Kinstone Visitor Center. Feel free to bring flowers or natural offerings to place at the Eternity Stone which will be as a symbolic grave for all those lost to suicide. \nDate: Saturday\, October 10th \nTime: 10:00am \nFee: $10/person. (NOTE: this fee covers your participation as well as entrance into Kinstone for the day; 100% of this fee is donated to NAMI SE MN) \nREGISTRATION LOCATION: Kinstone Visitor Center\, S3439 Cole Bluff Lane\, Fountain City\, WI\, 54629 – pay and register at Kinstone\, starting as early as 9:00am; all walkers will be shuttled to starting location (no pre-registration required); the last shuttle will leave Kinstone no later than 10am. \nWALK Starting Location: Bluff Siding Road near the intersection of WI HWY 35 and County Road M\, Fountain City\, WI. \nWALK Ending Location: Kinstone\, in the center of the Great Stone Circle at the “Eternity” stone. (Address: S3439 Cole Bluff Lane\, Fountain City\, WI) \nIf you are not walking or carrying a canoe\, but you wish to attend to support others and to participate in the fire ceremony or just wander Kinstone\, just come directly to Kinstone! You will still need to pay admission upon arrival. \n100% of ALL admissions to Kinstone on this day will be donated to NAMI SE MN. \nDon’t miss Evan Hansen’s book\, “Into the Wind\,” available at the Kinstone Gift Shop. Your support means the world. \nHistorical Perspective on Portage For A Purpose \nIn 2021\, Evan Hansen portaged a canoe over 300 miles across the state of Minnesota to raise awareness about suicide and suicide prevention. He called his journey “Portage for a Purpose”. Along the way\, he collected names and stories of people with loved ones who died due to suicide. Those names were written on the canoe. He ended that portage/walk in the center of Kinstone’s own Great Stone Circle at the stone known at “Eternity”.  Throughout this project he raised over $50\,000 for the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI SE MN). \nIn 2022\, he commemorated the anniversary of that effort with a public 5k portage / walk that traced the last five kilometers of his original journey – a mostly uphill trek. Now\, in conjunction with Kinstone\, Evan will host this Portage for a Purpose 5k Event again!  Last year (2022) we had over 20 walkers and 2 portagers. We expect many more participants this year and definitely more people carrying canoes in this unique 5k event! Will you be one of them? \nTogether\, Kinstone and Evan Hansen offer this event as a force for good; it is one way we can provide a positive impact and support for those who may be struggling with mental illness. \nEvan Hansen wrote a book called “Into the Wind” about his experiences on his 313 mile portage in 2021. This book is available for sale in the Kinstone Gift Shop. It is a compelling and relevant read. Get your copy here! \n\n\n\n\n“Anything you do from the soulful self will help lighten the burdens of the world. Anything. You have no idea what the smallest word\, the tiniest generosity\, can cause to be set in motion…Mend the part of the world that is within your reach.” ~Clarissa Pinkola Estes \n\n\n\n\n  \nVisit Evan Hansen’s facebook page\, Portage for a Purpose\, for more information about him and his mission.

Your support means the world. \nHistorical Perspective on Portage For A Purpose \nIn 2021 Evan Hansen portaged a canoe over 300 miles across the state of Minnesota to raise awareness about suicide and suicide prevention. He called his journey “Portage for a Purpose”. Along the way he collected names and stories of people with loved ones who died due to suicide. Those names were written on the canoe. He ended that portage/walk in the center of Kinstone’s own Great Stone Circle at the stone known at “Eternity”.  Throughout this project he raised over $50000 for the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI SE MN). \nIn 2022 he commemorated the anniversary of that effort with a public 5k portage / walk that traced the last five kilometers of his original journey – a mostly uphill trek. Now in conjunction with Kinstone Evan will host this Portage for a Purpose 5k Event again!  Last year (2022) we had over 20 walkers and 2 portagers. We expect many more participants this year and definitely more people carrying canoes in this unique 5k event! Will you be one of them? \nTogether Kinstone and Evan Hansen offer this event as a force for good; it is one way we can provide a positive impact and support for those who may be struggling with mental illness. \nEvan Hansen wrote a book called “Into the Wind” about his experiences on his 313 mile portage in 2021. This book is available for sale in the Kinstone Gift Shop. It is a compelling and relevant read. Get your copy here! \n\n\n\n\n“Anything you do from the soulful self will help lighten the burdens of the world. Anything. You have no idea what the smallest word the tiniest generosity can cause to be set in motion…Mend the part of the world that is within your reach.” ~Clarissa Pinkola Estes \n\n\n\n\n  \nVisit Evan Hansen’s facebook page Portage for a Purpose for more information about him and his mission.;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=S3439 Cole Bluff Ln:geo:-91.6295059,44.0909707
