SOUL TIME GATHERING



LONE PINE, CALIFORNIA

Wednesday, September 30th
to
Noon Sunday, October 4th, 2009

We come together in an awesome environment that will knock your socks off exposing body skin to earth skin through barefoot dancing, feet warming campfire storytelling, Bards that can stir the poetry of Rumi, Laotsi, Hafiz, along with feet stirred contemplative hikes, and soul music that invites communion with Nature and our love of Earth and Sky.

The Alabama Hills are magical rock formations located just west of Lone Pine at an elevation of 4000 feet and famous as a movie location for many Westerns and Gunga Din. Directions to our meeting location within the Alabama Hills will be provided.
