Earth Sanctuary Equinox Celebration
Description
INTRO
We welcome you to Earth Sanctuary located on 60 acres of Delley ancestral land in Northern Louisiana. This event serves those who wish to cultivate strength from the land. From land stewards to farmers to seekers desiring to create a more balanced way of life, you will leave with ancestral wisdom and blueprints to reproduce all we build. You are joining our communal practice of tribal rhythms with delicious vegetarian cuisine, where the western clock is retired and Phone/digital detox is supported.
The Equinox is a special time of rebirth allowing for new connections to be born and sprouted the same way plants do.
Join us for this rustic camping experience on as we commune 7 days strengthening our connection with nature, and each other. If you're looking for an innovative, fun, and ancestral healing experience, this is it.
We are led by the Co-Leaders of this emerging monastic ecoVillage, Rev Dele and Shayka Nyame Selassie who have a combined 60+ years of monastic experience and ecological study.
The immersion week builds on the experiences that we share from the first night to the last, each compounding the knowledge of the previous day. Further details are provided after registration. See the agenda below
