This time of year in Southern Appalachia the waning heat and waxing cold converge to produce sights, sounds, and smells unlike any other season. This weekend’s convergence was resplendent here in our village, with the red leaves of the sourwood trees and the yellow leaves of the oaks and hickories — some still on the trees and others carpeting the ground.

The morning after our first frost, the tender basil had a final hour of beauty before giving up for the season while the hardy greens toughened up for the winter. The zinnias will tough it out for another couple of weeks while newly planted shallots remain tucked under a blanket of straw to grow through the winter.

Nature reminds us to ask: What can we let go of in our lives to allow space for something life-serving to emerge?
Earthaven’s School of Integrated Living is itself in the waning phase of our 2021 in-person classes, which is making space for new online programs this winter and the emergence of a fresh slate of in-person classes in Spring 2022. While some of our programs wax and wane with the seasons, we give thanks for the steadfastness of our on-going, year-round tours (in-person and virtual), which give us a chance to connect and feed the fire of community with folks from all over the world.

Take a peek at our upcoming online programs:

Join one of our upcoming Earthaven tours:

May we use this autumnal time to find clarity about what really matters and make space for something life-serving to emerge.
