We are still being cautious and hoping and praying that COVID goes away SOON! Each week we bring you the Great Life RE Weekend To Do List. We don't want to stop now! While we wait for things to get better, we want to bring you plenty of great things to do. It's easy to go stir-crazy at home, but thankfully there are a lot of ways to stay active and safe while you're practicing social distancing.
So let's try another week of the Great Life RE Weekend To Do List: Social Distancing Edition!
Do: Not Your Average Farm Tour

Your experience will include an instructional introduction followed by 30 minutes of axe throwing at 865 Axe Throwing. Take a short 15 minute drive down the road to Rocking Chair Farm. Here you will tour the farm, meet many different animals, and have the opportunity to interact with alpacas. Another short 15-minute drive brings you to The Winery at Seven Springs Farm. Enjoy a complimentary tasting which can include any 10 of the wines, ciders, juices and wine slushies. You will also receive an amazing charcuterie tray with a variety of meats, cheeses, jelly and pickles to enjoy. Total drive time is under 30 minutes! You will receive a passport at the first stop and get stamps at each venue. Bring the completed passport to the Winery and receive a free Not Your Average Farm Tour wine glass to remind you of your experience.
Most important things to remember – show up at 865 Axe Throwing at your allotted time with closed toe shoes and a valid ID. Not too hard, right?

Try: Bliss Fest - Kundalini Yoga & Healing Arts
Where: Buckeye Farm / 1201 Old Spears Road, Lenoir City
The Bliss Fest gathering brings together community to drum together, chant together, eat together and most of all, practice all kinds of yoga together morning, noon and night! This year because of our troubling times, they're offering a variety of classes in Yin Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, Svaroopa Yoga, Reiki, Silks, Sustainable living and Permaculture--all in nature, all together, on a family farm.
In order to thrive and persevere through these tumultuous times, we need to step away from our day to day and create a new way of living, a new paradigm of peace on earth. Now is the time, to awaken our group consciousness and to pool our energies and intentions to uplift ourselves, our community and our planet.
The number of participants will be limited so register soon!
