Upcoming Events


Post-Thanksgiving Community Dinner/Game Night
November 26, 2011 4 pm - 7 pm

Come join us for an Intergenerational Game Night and potluck dinner! De-stress from the holidays and extend your day of thanks with serenity and fun at The Stone House. This is a time for our friends and community to come and play and eat together. We'll be playing board games, card games, indoor and outdoor games of all kinds - or no games, as you are also free to just sit by the fire and chat with friends. This is a potluck, so please bring a favorite culinary dish to share with 8-10 people, either carefully sealed leftovers from Thanksgiving or a new dish!

There is no cost and all are welcome, old and new friends alike - kids, families, folks of all ages and those you want to introduce to The Stone House.

For more information, call 919-304-5000.

Day of Practice
December 17, 2011, 10 am - 4 pm
Led by Claudia Horwitz

As the energy of December swirls around and draws us outward, join us for a day of practice as we explore the space within. This mostly silent day of practice will include gentle yoga to deepen our understanding of how we hold and release stress; a restful approach to meditation; and time in nature here on the land at The Stone House. Please wear loose fitting clothing and bring a journal or something to write on. We have plenty of yoga mats and meditation cushions, or feel free to bring your own. A light lunch will be served. This day of practice is offered freely and donations will be gratefully accepted at the end of the day.  Please visit our website to RSVP online.
