Join us for a field trip to the source of the Potomac River to welcome the return of spring and the running waters that nurture our local environment.

We will be staying together in a cabin at Cacapon Resort State Park in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia (about 2 hours from the DC metro area).

On Saturday morning we make a pilgrimage to the Fairfax Stone in West Virginia, which is the traditional source of the Potomac. There we will make offerings to the spirit of the river that she may flow strong and clear, bringing abundance and love to our region.

On Sunday we will enjoy breakfast and a nature walk before heading home or into Berkely Springs -- whatever people want to do!
