APPALACHIAN ADVENTURE WOMEN’S OUTDOOR WEEKEND: Touch the Earth Adventures invites you to a weekend-long retreat celebrating our Mother Earth and spirit of the region’s Appalachian roots. Focusing on nature-based adventure and education, create your own adventure from a menu of educational workshops taught by professional instructors. Learn the basics of backpacking, kayaking, birding and yoga, explore the forest during guided hikes and discover the region's natural treasures. Saturday night features an unforgettable merging of acoustic guitar, clawhammer banjo and hammered dulcimer from celebrated musicians Steve and Ruth Smith, whose style of Celtic and Appalachian music has been featured on XM Radio and NPR. Don’t miss this incredible weekend of relaxation, learning, friendship and nature.
