Where
Sweet Run State Park, 11661 Harpers Ferry Road, Hillsboro, VA 20132.
main parking lot, near pollinator garden.
When
Nov. 9, 2025. 2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Join us for an immersive evening at Sweet Run that draws inspiration from the elements of fire and water. We’ll begin with a guided walk along Piney Run, inviting sensory connection with the forest and flowing water. Through mindful invitations, we’ll slow down, listen, smell, touch, and observe the living landscape. After the walk, we’ll gather around a campfire in the meadow to sip wild-foraged forest tea and share in the warmth of community. The evening will close with a soothing sound bath, letting vibrations echo the calm of the water and the glow of the flames. Please wear shoes suitable for hiking and dress for the weather.
