The annual Three Days of Light Gathering — now in its fourth year — takes much of what’s great about summer festivals (camping, music, arts and craft vendors and nature) and enhances all of that with an element of spirituality and learning. Meditation spaces, sacred sanctuaries and workshops on topics like “Appalachian Ethno-Botany,” “Exploring Tantric Sexual Energy” and “Intro to Chi-Gong” are all part of the three-day weekend. Keynote speakers include author Tony Burroughs; alchemist, mythologist and astrologist Laura Eisenhower; Rev. Dr. Saralise Azrael, the founder of Legion of Light Global Ministries; and Emergence Earth founder Scott Bayden Love. The festival is held at Camp Grier in Old Fort, from Friday, Aug. 28, to Sunday, Aug. 30. Various lodging options are available. Tickets include all workshops and events and are $222 at the gate. Day tickets are $45 Friday/$55 Saturday/$40 Sunday. Kids younger than 14 get in for free. 3dlgathering.com. Photo by Black Creek Photography
