About
Join us on the 3rd Sundays of every month for a different hike around Atlanta and North Georgia. This may be our last hike of the season, depending on how cold the winter gets.
Please note: Hikerodose events are only for contributing members of our community (who donate monthly) or for those who have come in for a private sacrament ceremony with our ministers in the past 12 months.

DURATION / DIFFICULTY: This is a 2.2-mile loop trail with 626-ft elevation gain. Considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1.5hr to complete. The trail features lovely switchbacks, a stream-filled coniferous forest, and winds along massive granite outcrops. Enjoy a fantastic, view-packed hike without a long drive to the trailhead.
MEETING LOCATION: Pine Mountain Trail, West Komatsu Dr SE Cartersville, GA 30121
BRING:
✔️Shoes with good tread ✔️Sunscreen, shades, hat ✔️Water bottle ✔️Light clothing as it may be quite hot ✔️Snacks or a whole bag lunch ✔️A small backpack may be nice to have
KIDS: Children are welcome as long as they are old enough to keep up on this hike or can be carried on your back
PETS: Dogs are allowed but due to the rocky terrain we recommend leaving them home.
PARKING: Free, last time we checked
FORMAT:
12:00pm - Arrive and bring everything you need in a backpack
12:15pm - Circle up for introductions, intention setting and subtle sacrament
12:30pm - Movement and mindfulness practice if we find some open green space (Thai Chi or Qi Gong) led by one of our members -- beginner friendly
1:00pm - Hike to summit and have lunch / picnic and discussion
3:30pm - Begin return trip back to parking lot
4:00pm - Closing circle and departure
The focus of this gathering is communion with sacrament at a level that everyone will be present and feel more connected to each other and nature.
Expect an elevated mood and sense of well-being.
The vibe will be warm and supportive. We always end up in the deep end of existential topics.
We lead with vulnerability and we welcome yours.
