Greater Mysteries Presents: Lewis Hollow Ceremonial Stone Landscape Walk with Glenn Kreisberg
Saturday, September 12th from 10:00AM - 1:00PM
Exact Location shared upon registration

The morning following our Opening Gathering, we invite you to continue the inquiry with an intimate educational walk led by archaeoastronomer Glenn Kreisberg through Lewis Hollow, one of the Hudson Valley's most remarkable Ceremonial Stone Landscapes (CSL).

Over the course of this guided walk, Glenn will introduce participants to the manitou asunal ("spirit stones"), carefully constructed stone walls, cairns, and other features that have been identified as part of a Native American Ceremonial Stone Landscape. Together, we'll explore what these places may reveal about Indigenous relationships with the land, the sky, and the sacred, while considering the broader role that landscape itself has played in humanity's spiritual imagination.

This is an opportunity to experience a place of deep cultural and ecological significance with someone who has spent decades researching these extraordinary sites.

Participation is intentionally limited to 20 people. In keeping with the values of Greater Mysteries and out of respect for the land itself, this small group size allows us to move thoughtfully through the landscape while minimizing our impact on this sensitive site.

All proceeds from this offering will benefit the Overlook Mountain Center, supporting its ongoing work to protect, steward, and deepen public understanding of the Hudson Valley's cultural and natural heritage.

Please come prepared:

Wear sturdy hiking shoes or boots. The hike is under 2 miles on mostly easy to moderate, mixed terrain.
Long pants and tall socks are strongly recommended due to ticks and uneven terrain.
Bring bug repellent and sunscreen, if needed.
Bring water and a light snack.
The hike will take place rain or shine unless severe weather makes conditions unsafe.

This offering is ideal for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of the sacred landscapes that inform the vision of Greater Mysteries and to experience firsthand the living conversation between earth, sky, and human culture in the Hudson Valley.

Please note that a signed liability waiver will be required to participate in the hike. Directions will be provided to participants in the week leading up to the hike.
