MIDDLE MOUNTAIN NATURE’S RENEWAL WALK!

“Nature is the source of all true knowledge.” ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Throughout human history, cultures have revered certain mountains as sacred living beings with the ability to activate our connection with the divine, to trigger a sense of inner peace, to receive spiritual messages, and to be initiated in the path of a higher service, as in the case of the Peruvian tradition.

Join us to explore the land of the sacred Middle Mountain (AKA Sutter Buttes,) recognized as the “world’s smallest mountain range.” They contain a ten-mile wide circle of volcanic peaks that are dramatically isolated in the center of the Sacramento Valley.

Prior to the Gold Rush era, the Sacramento Valley, specifically the Yuba Sutter region, was the homeland of the Maidu and Wintun native people, who considered this land a “sacred” place of deep respect and spiritual and physical sustenance.

From ancient times, people have gathered to perform ceremonies and rituals to create a sense of belonging to the divine, to offer reverence to Mother Nature and the cycles of life, to deepen the relationship with their community, to cultivate the feeling of unity, connection, continuity, devotion and much more.

During our time together, we’ll participate in sacred Andean rituals to honor the season of Spring, a time of balance, renewal, and vitality. Connecting with the natural cycles of Mother Nature and the sacredness of the Middle Mountain reminds us we are all interconnected as being part of the whole, and we are welcome to take our place in the sacred web of life.
