Welcome to Ancient Wisdom Rising 2015! We are so excited to bring together this group of elders and presenters with you on the beautiful and sacred grounds of the Blue Deer Center located in the Catskill Mountains (a short three hour drive from New York City). The land itself and the magnificent mountain stream that flows through it provide an inspiring and rejuvenating backdrop for our program. This gathering is a rare opportunity to experience life in a community connected to the living world by the presence of the elder voices, the laughter of children, and the songs of the winds and the sacred stream. There are several lodging, camping or commuting options available.
