December 12:
Native People of the Southwest (3 day workshop).
A special Winter Weekend Package has been put together by Bear Mountain Lodge allowing an opportunity to take part in the workshop: Native People of the Southwest that runs from December 12-15. In winter's heart of darkness, native peoples gathered around fires and told stories. At Bear Mountain Lodge, the tradition continues. Join us around our hearth and on our nearby preserves for a winter weekend of Apache and Mimbreno lore. Who were these peoples and what stories guided their lives? What messages have drifted down to us through time? Joined by a local archaeologist and astronomer, we will look for answers scattered among the stones and we will look to the stars above. And, in the warm light of the lodge's fire, we will all look beyond winter's darkness into the storied heart of the past. $350/person includes workshop, 3 nights lodging, 3 dinners, one sack lunch and $25 donation to The Nature Conservancy. (lodging tax not included) This event will be offered again January 23-26, 2009 - more info to come.
