January 16-18, 2009
Presented by Carolina Spirit Quest
Fairy Stone State Park, Stuart, VA
Join Carolina Spirit Quest at the fifth annual - Winter Quest! So many of us have jobs that
don't allow us to listen to the cycles of the natural world, particularly in the winter when Nature's
message is one of rest and renewal. The purpose of Winter Quest is to listen to the rhythms of
Nature and to do quiet reflective and nurturing rituals and activities. This weekend event, like
last year's, will follow a pattern similar to that of a Spring Quest - but on a more leisurely pace
and scaled back participation. Registration is limited to 32 participants. When the wheel turns to
the chilled short days of winter, it is time for introspection once again. This January, we will be
continuing our process of looking inwards in the wintertime. The theme for the Winter Quest
event is "Our Sacred Community."
