At the Emerson Brook Forest Center, 57 Emerson Brook Forest Rd, Gilsum, NH
Our Annual Music and Art in the Forest takes place on Sunday, September 28th from 10am-2pm. Come for family fun, spontaneous music, poetry and movement. View the Clay Heads by Susan O’Hara and our local artists exhibit. Explore the trails and tour Valerie’s nearby homestead. Light refreshments will be served and/or bring a picnic lunch. The building and main grounds are wheelchair accessible, but not all of the trails are yet.
Leading up to this lively event, we’re hosting a potluck and “Circle” on Friday, September 26th and a full day seminar, Immersing Oneself in Nature, on Saturday the 27th.

During this day long retreat, Diane Damato will offer a writing workshop and Brian Bishoff will lead a Forest Bathing experience, as well as a form of guided meditation called EcoNidra. The day will include a nourishing meal and time for quiet reflection and exploration in the forest. The suggested donation for the day is on a sliding scale from $50-$75 with no one turned away for lack of funds. Space is limited to 14 people. To sign up, email valerie@emersonbrookforest.org or call 603-209-7272
