NEW EARTH MEDICINE – AWAKENING; SEPTEMBER 18-25, 2011
Itinerary, Information and Pricing
Our agenda is flexible so we can stay open to the calling of Spirit and the needs of the group. Planned activities include:
A boat tour of the Park’s largest lake, Western Brook Pond; the most spectacular of the glacially carved fjords in the northernmost extent of the Appalachians. You’ll see waterfalls cascading from 2000 feet that often turn to mist before reaching the pond, 1.2 billion year-old cliffs of granite and gneiss and frequent wildlife.
Hike of the Park’s highest mountain, Gros Morne, with its artic-alpine habitat, spectacular views of Ten Mile Pond and Long Range Mountains and wildlife such as caribou, black bears, fox and hares.
A boat tour of scenic Bonne Bay. Views of Gros Morne Mountain and the Tablelands. We scout for our finned relatives, especially the minke whales and dolphins that frequent the deep waters of this fjord. Bonne Bay is also home to multiple nesting bald eagles.
Walk on the Tablelands; a slice of ancient ocean floor. The orange-brown rock, called peridotite, is one of the best and most accessible examples of exposed mantle material in the world.
Along 1 kilometer of beach at Green Point you stroll through 15 million years of Earth history.
Visit a Dorset Paleo-Eskimo site at Port aux Choix where there are 4000-year–old sacred burial grounds. Follow the Crow Head Trail through limestone barrens to Point Riche lighthouse.
