About us
Are you, like us, dedicated to learning from the adventure of life and all it has to offer?
In these events, we explore the wisdom of the natural world and the practical, time-tested ways that people have lived a good human life throughout the generations. Can traditional wisdom's simple life-ways offer us a good and beneficial path through these times of great change?
Together, we'll explore health and wellness, life purpose, weather extremes, human relationships, and the ancient and relevant roles of ceremony and traditional ways of relating with nature.
These events are held around a fire or candle, usually at the Sacred Fire Council House just north of Asheville, NC.
We'll listen to a sacred story, share how we're doing, be inspired by a nature walk, and explore new ways of incorporating ancient wisdom perspectives.
In sharing our life experiences and opening to traditional wisdom, we'll gain tools and experiences (and new friends) that fortify our lives and revitalize us as we walk our path through life.

The Stories Trees Tell forest honoring workshop
Weaverville, NC, USHonor Nature on a short hike into the lush Appalachian forest on a mountain. Bask in the wise presence of the Trees as you remember your roots and reunite with Mother Earth, the mother of us all.
The wisdom of trees and magic of the lush forest await you! Join us in the woods for nature connection, wisdom, silence & sharing.
We will immerse into nature together in a beautiful mature forest on a mountainside in Weaverville to experience whatever wisdom and magic this early Fall evening offers us.
Please bring a notebook and a pen and a blanket or camping chair to sit on as we will spend some time sitting in a circle on the earth together. We will be spending 25 minutes of discussion, orienting us to our connection with the trees, then 20 minutes of quiet time walking in and listening to nature. We will then write what we experienced and join together to share those experiences.

Who are the facilitators?Husband and wife Adam Laufer and Erin Everett open you to the message of Way of the Dove, an expression of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Mesoamerican lineage that trained these healers brings forth the Sixth Sun, a new era of Hope and Heart. Join them to catch this wave rising up to bring the blessings of a new dawn to our world.
Nature honoring and connection (like this event) and traditional folk healing help us all to open to the rays of blessing and transformation this special time brings us.
Adam and Erin offer personal healing sessions, nature honoring workshops, and healing vacation retreats at their sacred traditional altar and their log cabin sanctuary on a lush, forested mountain just north of the holistic and wellness hub Asheville, NC.
