FULL MOON WALK! ALL WELCOME!

DECEMBER 14, 2024 3:00 - 5:00 PM

RIVER TO RIDGE TRAIL, NEW PALTZ, NY

It is that Time of year when we hear of the need for rest and rooting down, for slowness of life, contemplation, and finding the inner light... meanwhile, the daily schedule and weekend activities, obligations and invitations begin to rise to fever pitch... and before we know it, Santa and his elves have turned our homes into humming hives of overwhelm....

No! That's not gonna happen this year, friends. This year we will build moments into our days to truly herald in the light... "Sorry, I can't make it..." because I have scheduled a warm bath and cup of chamomile tea for that evening. Hold steady, friends. The darkness comes in all forms these days.

For the upcoming FULL COLD MOON, I invite you on a walk through my most favorite farmland in Ulster County. Brook Farm is a part of the Mohonk Preserve and is home to many of our beloved native (and invasive) medicinal plants. They are slumbering now and perhaps will inspire our own paths of rest and slumber for winter. I will point out some of the plants along our walk and suggest a remedy for this busy season, but this is more an opportunity to simply get out of the house and move the blood to help us sleep through the full moon nights!

All are welcome! This is a 5 mile walk! But it is possible to join for a short portion in an area where there are benches for resting - just let me know if this is of interest. There is also plenty of land and trail for heading off on your own if you seek some solitude...

This gathering is FREE!

Please write: songoftheridge@gmail.com to join the walk and let me know how many will be in your party.
