“The retreat brings people together, builds community in the forest, gets participants outside and off their screens, and uses nature sustainably to heal and inspire minds and souls,” stated Great Mountain Forest Executive Director Michael Zafros. Retreat registration closes on July 30.
“We’ve brought music to town and business to town. People are now coming to this side of Main Street. We’ve done a lot to help this town."
--- Keith Weller, patriarch of the Gypsy Joynt gypsies
Though the Gypsy Joynt’s final business day is just over a week away on April 24, Lori Weller said the decision to close was not made lightly. “Everybody has been like extended family here. I feel wrong in a lot of ways on leaving, but I just have to go home. It’s like my wanderlust is over.”
