In the beginning we called them "Work Weekends" - times when we invited our extended community to contribute their time and talents to maintain and improve the physical setup at Easton Mountain - to paint, clean, garden, clear land and do countless other things that are necessary to the upkeep of our buildings and grounds.

Over time we saw that it was necessary to have some elements that focused on out mission and on building camaraderie, so the name was changed to "Community Building Weekends" with an intro circle on Friday evening, fun activities on Saturday evening, and a closing circle where men got to share their experiences of the weekend.

Do you have any stories from these weekends that you would like to share? If so, please use the comment area below to add your voice to this account.

This spring we will have five Community Building Weekends: March 18-20, April 8-10, May 13-15, June 3-5, and June 17-19. Be a part of the team that makes Easton Mountain run. Join us for one or more Community Building Weekends.
