On a Sunday coming soon…!
I love sharing time with others in nature for shared memories and friendships that will last a lifetime! We gather together for feast, family, festival and fun to celebrate life! Springtime is a beautiful time in the Cuyamaca Mountains. Let us share everything we know about these mountains with you and we hope you too, will love these mountains as much as we do!
Retreat to Nature. Enjoy fresh mountain air and unplug.
Nature is an essential element in our lives. Nature feeds our souls. With Oak Trees, three small rivers (currently dry), horse shoe play, large granite boulders to climb on and sit on and a large Cedar Works chemical-free and splinter-free playground, it is a haven and a sanctuary for children. There are large metates found everywhere around the land that were once used by the Native American Indians in this area more than 1000 years ago. There are trails on more than ten acres and we adjoin the 3800 acre Santa Ysabel Preserve. We are located at the Headwaters of San Diego River.
For this potluck, bring your labeled signature vegetarian or vegan potluck item to feed 10 to 12 guests. Potluck starts at 12:00 a.m.
At 2:30 pm we will hike at the Santa Ysabel Open Preserve. Trail hikes last an average of two hours.
We may have guest presenters to share some of your favorite topics: whole foods class, non-violent communication, parenting techniques, responsive parenting, permaculture and more!
