Geocaching 101 will introduce you to the basic fundamentals of Geocaching and using GPS on your smartphone. This class consists of a large display explaining Geocaching and also examples of all of the different sizes and kinds of containers you could find. This app is on your smartphone and you will be shown how to get the coordinates to find caches in the area. There are Geocaches in Merrick State Park and we are planning (weather permitting) to hike to these caches on Sunday morning at 9:00am. Come prepared with your smartphone (download Geocaching.com free app), and bug spray.

Drum Making Workshop with Wayne Manthey

In this educational workshop you will make your own one-sided drum. When people create their own drums they can’t help but develop deep connections to it. The drum you create becomes an extension of yourself and a gateway to greater understanding of your connection to all.
We start with a pre-constructed frame, deer hides, and a bucket of walnut stain. First, you choose your frame, lay out the hides, and take a few moments of reflection to connect to this medium. After cutting out the drum circles, Wayne will lead the group one step at a time, through the rest of the process. All you need is to be there and do it!
Choose to make a 13 Inch Drum or a 16 Inch Drum. Class size is limited to sign up early!
Ticket includes instruction, all required materials, and general admission to Kinstone for the day.

A Sister Circle is a safe and sacred place where we can get real, share our journeys, insights, and stories. We cultivate self-love and authentic connection. In circle we can all speak our truth and be seen and heard for who we are. All women are invited to join in our circle, especially women who desire to create supportive relationships with other women, women who are feeling overwhelmed or stressed and are looking for some rejuvenation, and women who are looking for ways to find and express the Sacred in their daily lives.
We meet at Kinstone once a month on the Friday closest to the new moon. We gather around the fire in the center of the Stargazer Circle. Join us!
Admission to Kinstone required. No registration needed. Free for Kinstone Kin Season Pass holders. Freewill offerings requested for facilitator.
Theme of the Month: REDEFINING BEAUTY: MY BODY, MY RULES
The most important key to feeling beautiful is having an awareness and sincere relationship with listening to the messages of your body. All of your emotions, past memories, ancestral connections, and relationship to the Great Mother exists within your DNA, your bones, blood, and the sensations you experience.
