These pictures are beautiful! Is this a real place?

YES! We are so excited to have found this gorgeous house in Hunter, NY to host our event in. All the photos on the website (except for the bio pictures) are of the location we will be staying in for the event.

What is this conference about?

The founders of Hearthstone Community are all attendees of Midwest Shamans Conference in Madison, Ohio. We wanted to create something similar that was closer to home, which for us is the Tri-State area. The truth is that there is plenty of information out there, but it’s hard to find good information in large doses. We wanted to create that out east, and we wanted community where we could share our growth, our evolution, and be in a supportive, learning environment where we could thrive in numbers.

But what is it about?

All of us deal with the Otherworlds in one way or another. We have guides, spirits, ancestors, teachers, and that can be hard to speak to people in the mundane world about. Not all of us have the luxury of being surrounded by other people that just get it, and all of us as human beings need to be heard and understood. Hearthstone Community conferences will all be focused on that kind of environment. Our experiences have shown us that, when Elders step forward to provide information, spiritual growth and evolution follows quickly after. Our conference is a place to learn and grow in a place where Elders can nudge us in the right direction and still leave us as individuals in the driver’s seat.

Is this a religious retreat?

No. There is an acknowledgment of Otherworldly things, such as spirit or plant guides, ancestors, etc….but it’s not the kind of place where we try to get other people to believe what we believe.

We want to help you to dig deeper into what you already believe. And we want to learn from you just as much as we hope you will learn from us.

Tell me about the cost.

When we ourselves go to a different event, there is the cost of entrance to the event itself, and then the food, the lodging that we rent (usually an air bnb that is close to the event location). These costs add up.

Our event includes all those costs in one shot, in addition to giving you an opportunity to choose a private room if you so desire. The cost is not just the cost of the conference. It’s the cost of the room, the food, entrance to the conference, and payment for the teachers and their time. You just have to get to us, and we’ll take care of the rest.
