Nature Connection 
Peacemaking and 
Community Resilience

Who: This workshop is for anyone who wants to become more involved in re-generating a culture that cultivates each person’s gifts and nurtures connection to the natural world. In order to encourage families and grandparents to attend, we will be offering a children’s program that will run concurrently with the adult program.

Special Offer for Workshop Participants: If you don’t already have Coyote’s Guide to Connecting with Nature we have a very special offer. The normal cost of the book is $34.95 plus shipping. If you send in your registration by April 1, 2011, we will send you a copy of the guide for only $20 and we will pay the shipping! Reading this book before the workshop will greatly enhance your experience.

Where: The workshop will be held at the Appalachian Forest Museum about an hour and a half east of Cincinnati in Highland County. The Museum is perched on the edge of a spectacular landscape feature, the Rocky Fork Gorge, which is a botanical hotspot for rare plants and lush wildflower displays, as well as a place of outstanding geologic scenery. The Museum and its hiking trails are a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers and families wanting to immerse their children in the beauty of nature. You can find out more about the Museum at http://www.highlandssanctuary.org/.

When: Friday June 3, 2011 at 6:00 PM through Sunday June 5, 2011 at 2:00 PM.

Cost: $150 for adults includes 3 meals on Saturday and 2 meals on Sunday. Participants should bring a dish for the potluck on Friday night; drinks will be provided. $75 for children includes all meals except the potluck.

Lodging Options: You have the option to make your own arrangements in the area. If you would like to camp, the closest campground is about 5 miles away at Paint Creek State Park www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks. If you have children and don’t want to camp, a good option is Lazy H cabins www.lazyhcabins.com. They are about 2 miles from the museum. We also have 5 rooms for 2 adults per room available in Beechcliff, an Arc of Appalachia lodge. The lodge is within walking distance of the museum. http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/paintcrk.
