SUMMARY:Sold Out - Winter Barn Concert & Potluck: Edie Carey Heartsongs & Harvest
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. Please join us for a future event. \nJoin us at Crow’s Nest Preserve’s beautifully rustic barn for a special evening of music\, food\, and community. This cozy winter gathering will feature an intimate performance by Edie Carey\, a Colorado-based singer-songwriter known for her soulful voice\, heart-grabbing songs\, and engaging presence. With her blend of folk\, Americana\, and thoughtful storytelling\, Edie draws listeners in with songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable. \nWe’ll be gathering in the preserve’s heated barn\, a comfortable and welcoming space that offers the perfect setting for a house-concert-style show. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to her music\, Edie’s performances are known for creating a sense of connection\, warmth\, and authenticity. As much a part of her show as the music itself\, Edie’s wry humor makes audiences feel as though they’ve just spent an evening with a very close friend. \nWe invite you to bring a dish to share and enjoy a potluck dinner with fellow guests before the concert. \n“Edie Carey’s ‘The Veil’ is a direct hit to the solar plexus…jaw-dropping lyricism…” – The Independent \nAbout the artist: Edie Carey has been touring internationally since 1999\, singing alongside Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile and appearing on Public Radio International’s syndicated Mountain Stage as well as Cayamo\, Telluride Bluegrass\, and Newport Folk Festivals. Her lullaby project with award-winning songwriter Sarah Sample won Best Children’s Album in the 2015 Independent Music Awards\, and she was a featured vocalist along with Lisa Loeb on the 2020 Grammy-Winning ensemble All the Ladies. Americana Highways called her 2022 solo studio release The Veil “one of the best of the year” and Basic Folk listed it as #4 on their “Top 10 of 2022” alongside Grammy-nominees Anais Mitchell and Aoife O’Donovan. In the fall of 2024\, she released Lantern In The Dark: Songs of Comfort and Lullabies\, her 2nd duo album with Sarah Sample. Their first ever co-written song\, “In My Arms\,” recently won 2nd place in the Children’s category of the 2024 International Songwriting competition\, along with Grammy nominees Fyütch and Lucy Kalantari.

SUMMARY:Peace Present: Mini Wellness Retreat - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. Please join us for a future event. \nAs the holiday season approaches\, how can you find ways to stress less\, enjoy more\, and replace feeling overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude? \nTake some time for yourself to find steadiness and ease at our mini wellness retreat at Hildacy Preserve. \nDuring the session\, Christina Fittipoldi will lead a gentle yoga movement\, accessible for all\, and breathwork practice to support self-awareness. \nIf weather permits\, there will be time for exploration and reflection of the preserve. We will explore the beauty of Hildacy with a moving meditation connecting us to nature to soothe our souls. \nFinish your morning with a sound bath with singing bowls played on and off the body for deep relaxation\, and grounding offered by certified vibrational sound practitioner Mindie Hung. The singing bowls grant the mind the opportunity to disconnect to turn inward. \nAbout our instructors: \nChristina Fittipoldi: Completed a 200-hour vinyasa yoga teacher training in May 2015 and began teaching a wide variety of asana movement at multiple studios. Eager to dive deeper\, she completed the 300-hour teacher training at Main Line Yoga Shala in December 2019 entitled “Agni Moksha.” She enjoys guiding students mindfully through safe and responsible movement using body and breath awareness\, allowing students to journey within. \nMindie Hung: In 2017\, she became a certified vibrational sound therapy practitioner with the Vibrational Sound Association after her own healing journey began while experiencing the power of sound healing. Since then she has had many clients report feeling a deeper sense of connection to self\, feeling more relaxed\, better sleep and overall well-being. Some benefits of sound healing include improved mental focus\, reduced stress and anxiety as well as improved mood.

SUMMARY:Home for the Holidays: An Evening of Music and Cheer with Les Canards Chantants
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to present Home for the Holidays: An Evening of Music and Cheer. We’ve transformed the spectacular Tudor Revival-style house at Stoneleigh: a natural garden with beautiful decorations crafted from natural materials gathered from the garden. This special evening offers the opportunity to see the house and its festive decor at night\, aglow with the warmth of holiday cheer. The highlight of the event will be an inspiring musical performance by the acclaimed vocal ensemble Les Canards Chantants. There will be light bites and seasonal beverages. Celebrate this season with good food\, good music\, and good friends in an enchanting setting. \nThis event is for guests 21 years of age and older. \nAbout the performers: Les Canards Chantants is an American solo-voice ensemble performing renaissance polyphony. The ensemble has been praised for their ‘elegant vocalism’ (Philadelphia Inquirer)\, ‘finely tuned vocals\, robust singing\, emotional flexibility\, and sense of adventure’ (Broad Street Review)\, ‘brilliant and moving programming’ (Early Music America)\, and ‘liveliness and theatricality’ (Boston Musical Intelligencer). Founded in England in 2011 to explore the dramatic possibilities of the Venetian madrigal\, Les Canards Chantants is now based in Philadelphia\, where they have served as Ensemble in Residence at Glencairn Museum\, and present concerts of renaissance polyphony at home and abroad. They have toured in the UK\, Germany\, and China\, collaborated with such ensembles as Piffaro\, Acronym\, the Folger Consort\, and Parthenia Viol Consort\, and recently made their debut at the Indianapolis Early Music Festival. Co-directors Robin and Graham Bier both earned degrees in environmental studies as well as music. They share a deep love of nature that has inevitably led the group off the beaten path\, from performing underground\, to filming on the North York Moors\, to plumbing the depths of renaissance music’s love affair with birds\, animals\, and even insects. \n \nWebsite: www.lescanardschantants.com \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/LesCanardsChantants/ \nInstagram: @lescanardschantants \nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lescanardschantants9770

SUMMARY:Members Edition: Mantis Meadow Scavenger Hunt - Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:Event is cancelled. Please join us for the upcoming Mantis Meadow Scavenger Hunt at Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary on Saturday\, March 7. \n \nThis event is reserved exclusively for Natural Lands members and their guests. \n Not all mantises are welcome… \nMany people are surprised to learn that the praying mantises they spot in their gardens might not be native—and that some invasive species can pose serious threats to local wildlife\, even preying on hummingbirds. \n To learn how to tell the difference between species and help protect the balance of our local ecosystems\, join us for a fun\, hands-on scavenger hunt in the meadow to search for and remove invasive mantis egg cases\, which are distinct from those of native mantises. \n All collected egg cases will be donated to our partners at Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research\, where they’ll help feed recovering baby birds this spring and summer—turning an invasive problem into a nurturing solution. \n Help native wildlife and support bird rehab with your efforts. \n Camaraderie and refreshments to follow.

While participants are encouraged to bring an SLR or mirrorless camera and tripod\, the workshop is accessible to those using only a smartphone. \nWith limited space\, each participant will receive individual guidance as they create their own still life photographs. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your creative approach\, this inspiring three-hour session offers a unique chance to develop your skills and experiment with natural light photography. \nPlease note: The inclement weather date is Saturday\, March 14. \nAbout the instructor: Ginnie Lodge is a local multi-genre photographer who delights in experimenting and creating with her camera… out in nature\, or on her kitchen counter. With a lifelong career as a teacher\, she enjoys bringing out the best in others with whom she explores the craft of photography. You can see some of her work at www.ginnielodge.com.
