WHERE: Marshall, North Carolina, USA

Though remote, the land is stewarded by our dear friends who carefully cultivate sacred reciprocity in their relations with the local Nature Beings, which increases the power and clarity of the Qarpay Initiation. Additionally, the seclusion provides a truly "off grid" energetic experience which enhances our connection to and ability to hear Nature speaking.

COST: $525 USD, which includes tuition and 2 dinners. Deposit of $175 USD due at registration, with balance of $350 USD due by September 3, 2024. (* please see refund policy below)

MEALS: Friday and Saturday night we will partake together in catered, local, and wholesome dinners . Breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday and lunches on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are BYO. There is not sufficient time during the program to go off site to go to restaurants. Several shared refrigerators are available to store your food. Tea, coffee, and some light snacks will be provided.

LODGING: Each participant is responsible for arranging accommodations for themselves. We have presented some options in the registration form that are close to or on the Farm. Hot Springs, Weaverville, and Asheville are within 30 - 50 minutes drive and there are plentiful choices there, also.
