Spring-time brings a welcome opportunity to practice meditation at the Cowee School led by Alarka Expeditions expert on horticulture and all things botanical Jack Johnston.

Little Tennessee Phenology and Poetry Paddle
The high lonesome Little Tennessee river is one of the most biologically abundant rivers in the southern Appalachians and the cultural and natural history is well documented.
Join us as we impart our favorite way to commune with the river - weaving in writing prompts and phenological accounts, watching the birds and paddling along the current.
A dry bag and journal is essential. Portage + shuttle included.

Finding the Spirit of the Forest:
This workshop will lead us on a journey of ritual, meditation, and craft. Exploring the natural environment together, we will create forest figures representative of spirits we may meet through meditation. These figures will be crafted using a small and thoughtful amount of natural materials such as such as nuts, pods, leaves, branches, and loose mosses gathered from the environment. A thanking ritual for obtaining these materials will deepen our connection to the Earth.
The most important thing to know about Helen Rogers is that she is a retired government scientist turned artist. Helen collects natural materials and found objects to blend into creatures of the forests, technology, and her imagination.
