Kinship Experiences
I invite you to join me in the Asheville, NC area for:
🦋 Immersive nature connection experiences
🌿 Holistic wellness classes
🍁 Seasonal Kinship gatherings
@ The Ruby Ranch in Candler, NC!
November 2 & 23 - every other Sunday, 9-10:30a
Welcome to Dirt Church at Ruby Ranch!
Where the blue sky is our ceiling, the misty mountains are our altar, and the horses might just wander by to bless the circle. 🐎✨
This isn’t about sermons or shoulds. It’s about remembering how good it feels to:
🌲 Breathe with the land and let the mountain air clear your mind
🌿 Slow down enough to feel the small, sacred things around you
🦌 Share space with wild beings and kindred humans who care about connection
💚 Nourish your heart with simple practices of presence and wonder
We’ll gather on the land of Ruby Ranch, nestled below Mount Pisgah, surrounded by horses, wildlife, and wide-open sky. Through gentle nature connection practices, quiet reflection, and shared circle, we’ll create a little pocket of magic and belonging together.
🍵 A grounding tea will be offered, so bring your favorite mug!
Come as you are—muddy boots, big laughs, tender hearts all welcome.
🎒WHAT TO BRING: water bottle, mug for tea, layers for mountain weather, something comfy/dry to sit on, and your sense of wonder.
🔥 You can also bring firewood or food to share if you'd like!
Suggested donation: $ 10-30. No one is turned away for lack of funds—come as you are! Cash and Venmo (@CaraHelene) are accepted!
LOCATION: Ruby Ranch, 36 Kel-Co Rd, Candler, NC 28715
RAIN OR SHINE! We’ll be under a pavilion or up above the pasture depending on weather.
NOTE: The 10min walk up the pasture is on uneven ground.
Tuesday, November 4th, 1p - 3:30pm EASTERN

They are skilled at helping women learn to nurture wellness at home - and to know when to call a pro!
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
