Hello all, I hope you have been enjoying spring!
Ocate Cliffs is open for visiting starting in May, which could be free in exchange for volunteering with us. We can use volunteers for maintaining the house and trails. If interested, please contact Star at star@divergentlabs.org.
Currently, our Hipcamp and Airbnb listings are not open but arrangements can be made if anyone is interested in renting the house. For an overview of what the house and location offers, see here: Airbnb listing – https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/43485702?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=d936f8ce-deb7-46b3-afca-4e1758f7b067
Mike, our friend from New Hampshire, stayed at Ocate Cliffs over winter. He reported that stocking up on food and heating with wood went well, but he did feel lonely at times. It can get lonesome living somewhere so far away from others. Regardless, thank you Mike for looking over the place during the winter and we hope to see you again.
Later this month we will have road work done so traveling up and down the mountain will be much easier. This is great for making the transportation more accessible to standard vehicles. We can expect future travels to the top of Ocate Cliffs to be much less rocky.
Don’t forget to check out our Hautism/women+ program at Ocate Cliffs in the summer! It is a one-week retreat for autistic women, transgender, and non-binary participants. Please let others who may be interested know about this opportunity.Webpage and Application: https://wilderwoodequinetherapy.org/hautism/Brochure: https://simplebooklet.com/hautismocateVideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lddGmtadX0
