The poet Mary Oliver relayed this message from the natural world. And perhaps we glow brightest when we dive within to explore the treasures of our interior selves - and emerging, conjure pearls of true, heartfelt expression to share with others. 

​

In this weekend writing retreat, we will be guided into our deepest heart by gentle guided meditations and music. We will share and discuss specially selected poems for inspiration. And we will write what most passionately calls to us and share it with each other in a safe, nurturing space. All levels and genres of writing are welcome. This is an opportunity to discover, explore and even transform aspects of your life. It is guaranteed to be a heart-opening, intimate and soul-nourishing weekend. In order to honor each person’s creative contributions, space is limited to 10 participants.

​

We will meet in a private home on the wetlands of Mt. Shasta, California, with a full on view of the mountain. October is a particularly beautiful time of year here offering crystalline, fast flowing rivers, wild flower hikes, an abundance of lakes and waterfalls, and myriad natural wonders to behold.

If you are coming from out of town, please let me know and I’d be happy to offer suggestions for reasonable accommodations.
