Friends Wilderness Center (Harpers Ferry, WV)

On May 11th we will gather under the trees a short distance from the Niles Cabin to listen to the sounds of nature, contemplate on the pine trees overhead and reflect on the words of writers, such as Emerson, Thoreau, Mary Oliver and Wendell Berry, in relation to the trees, birds and creation. As we sit in silent wonder, we will record our feelings and ideas in writing selections which we will be invited to share later in Worship Sharing if we choose. Please bring a folding chair, insect repellent, journal and ink pen. Please let us know if you wish to attend this wonderful program so we will know how many will be here. You may email Sheila at naturesheila@gmai.com - NOTE THIS IS A NEW EMAIL ADDRESS. Lunch will be available to those who let us know when you register ($10). We suggest a $10 donation to the Friends Wilderness Center to help with our ongoing expenses.
