Spider Rock Canyon de Chelly<\/p><\/div>\n

Join Earth Walks September 8-11, 2016 on this both inner and outer journey to Canyon de Chelly. \u00a0Thursday, September 8<\/strong> we travel by carpool from Santa Fe, past Shiprock, NM:<\/p>\n

\"Shiprock,<\/a><\/p>\n

From there we cross the Chuska mountains to the town of Chinle. \u00a0 Dine (Navajo) friend Daniel Staley and his family will guide us into the spectacular red sandstone canyon to his family land where we will be camping. \u00a0Those who wish will hike to the site; others can ride vehicles which will be carrying our camping gear. \u00a0The first evening we will participate in sweat lodge, a powerful way to begin our stay in this land which has been sacred to local people for so many generations. (Those who wish can stay outside the sweat and assist with the fire and prayers.) Meals in the canyon will be a group activity (preparation and clean up.)<\/p>\n

Friday, September 9<\/strong> we travel by truck to the Spider Rock for contemplation and time alone in the quiet of the canyon.<\/p>\n

Saturday, September 10<\/strong> \u00a0we visit Kathryn Pemala who has been a long time weaver on her family farm in the canyon. \u00a0An important element of every Earth Walks is “service learning”–learning about traditional cultures while we offer service and “return the gift” of living in this great land. \u00a0We may be clearing weeds from farm land and orchards, helping with the animals, doing repairs or a variety of other activities. \u00a0Kathryn will share her method and meaning of weaving with us and we will share lunch together as well.<\/p>\n
