the Stories Trees Tell
Come listen to The Stories Trees Tell. We will meet around a fire or candle outdoors in a wooded area. Please bring a notebook and a pen and a blanket or camping chair to sit on. We will spend some time sitting in a circle together and also some quiet time walking in and listening to nature. We will then write what we experienced and join together to share those experiences. The event is led by Adam Laufer and Erin Everett, Asheville-area residents who are also quiaclazques healers, tradition-holders for over 20 years in a Nahua lineage of the Central Highlands of Mexico.
