Bear Spirit Grounds

Home Bear Spirit Grounds is a three acre woodland located in north eastern Tennessee.  It is dedicated to Native spirituality, and meditation.  Native peoples come in groups or as individuals to walk the Sacred Circle Trail, see or use the ceremonial water fountain, and view features such as the Bear Drink, The Hands Of Meditation, Three Braves Point, The Little People Lodge, The Winter Hot House, and the three dimensional Medicine Wheel.  It is a place to step out of the fast pace of modern life and seek to honor the ancestors, the spirit of the bear, and to remember tranquility that used to pervade this domain of the Cherokee and other Native brothers and sisters.
