About the event
April 16 - 19
The backpacking basics are simple to learn, but the real magic happens when we let ourselves be still with nature. Learning how to backpack, and safely, empowers you to find yourself in the middle of nowhere, to find peace and pleasure in presence when we've grown accustomed to busyness.
Our route will explore the Lost Cove Wilderness Area, crossing fresh mountain streams and meandering up a mountain and along the ridgeline. We'll play in Gragg Prong and Hunt Fish Falls, camp next to water, and hopefully meet some of the beings who call Lost Cove home, like salamanders and Spring ephemerals.
While we’ll learn new skills and new knowledge, the heart of this backpacking trip is presence. We’ll explore in deep presence with the forest, tuning into our senses and losing track of time. Don’t worry, that’s what I’m there for.
