CAILLEACH HAS ARRIVED!
Happy New Year! We continue to feel the Grip of the Winter Queen! The Cailleach is not done with us here in Northern New England! How are you staying warm, and warm-hearted?
While the fields may be fallow, there are many opportunities to gather in circle at Avalon. Join us around the fire on Feb 6th to celebrate the Celtic Goddess Brigid and the return of the Light! (a fundraiser for Through These Doors~$20 suggested donation). Looking for an engaging and soulful workshop? Michele Lowry brings her Animal Communication workshop to Avalon on Saturday 02/07 (this one is full! See next date!) and Saturday 02/28. Join us!

Welcome!
HOW ARE YOU BEING NOURISHED?
At Avalon Acres, our commitment is to guide people back to their sense of wonder through connecting them to nature and the healing effect natural, thriving ecosystems have on us. Remembering our connection to the natural world allows us to re-set, restore and rejuvenate in ways that help us show up to our own lives with more patience, excitement, compassion and willingness. The programs Avalon Acres offers are nourishing to the soul, no matter what religious or spiritual background you may be bringing to the experience. Whether it is enjoying the plethora of fresh veggies and eggs, committing to a 3-day guided vision quest on the land or taking a 90-minute hula hoop class in the apple orchard, the Earth and her intelligence will help return you to yourself.
Produce, Special events, walks, Plan a visit
PRODUCE
Avalon’s fresh vegetables are never treated with pesticides and are grown in soil rich in nutrients. In addition to vegetables, we sell seedlings for you to plant your own garden!
SPECIAL EVENTS
Avalon hosts a variety of sacred events and drumming circles throughout the year that honor the turning of the wheel. Whether it is wassailing on New Year’s or lighting the May Day fires to welcome summer, Avalon offers an alternative experience to dinner-and-a-movie for the curious and Gaia-conscious human.
WALKS
Looking for something educational, fun and good for the body as well as the soul? At Avalon, we offer a variety of different Walks through our magical forest. In the warmer months (May through October) you can follow our trails; in the winter, snowshoe wherever spirit moves you to do so.
PLAN A VISIT
We’d love to see you! Come visit and take a self-guided tour of our Spirit Circuit, check out our products for sale, or come see the Long House for your rental needs. Mary Katherine and Michael are happy to answer any questions you may have!
