Atlanta 2013 road trip

27 Kuumba Lynx youth drove over night to Atlanta Georgia. Our first stop was Red mountain .  Every time we come together at KL we circle up and part of our ritual is to repeat " we respect we appreciate we nurture we give back to Mother Earth" today we got to really give thanks to LAdy E!  We walked the edge of the lake through mud and over rocks.  We looked for a rock that connected to us and our journey then took turns sharing what about that rock intrigued us and how we want to use our relationship with the elements of the earth to reconnect us to our life purposes.  It made us take time to be ourselves and reflect on our individual lives.  Where we are what we been through and what we want to heal through.  These trips are how we bond and make family.  Being in calm environments with no stress Is a big part of what we look forward to at KL.  This teaches us about respect of life. Respect and appreciate your life then naturally you respect your environment!  Fresh and green!
