** SPECIAL FOR NOV. 23rd: you're invited to stay for the day and join the community work day and potluck at the ranch following the gathering! **
Welcome to Dirt Church — 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 shared with the group.
Come as you are — muddy boots, big laughs, tender hearts all welcome.
Details:
📍 The Ruby Ranch, 36 Kel Co Rd., Candler, NC
📅 November 23rd, 9-10:30am (Rain or Shine!)

WHAT TO BRING: water bottle, mug for tea, layers for mountain weather, something comfy/dry to sit on, and your sense of wonder.
* Accessibility Note: we'll hike up the hill to our location, or we'll be under the covered pavilion if it rains. The hike is up uneven terrain.
💲Donations are welcome. No one is turned away for lack of funds — come as you are! Cash or Venmo (@CaraHelene) are accepted.
You can also bring firewood or food to share if you'd like!
Your donation supports Cara in creating these heart- and land-nourishing gatherings.
🙂 Your Host: Cara Helene guides soul-driven people to slow down, root into the wisdom of the living Land, and remember how good it feels to belong. She leads nature connection experiences, like Dirt Church, that nurture heart, body, and spirit.
