"Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows."
~Henry David Thoreau
Drawing inspiration from the natural world and its infinite wisdom of design, we will explore how the currents of our own lives move through us, offering their own gifts and insights. This year, during our annual spring Emergence retreat, we turn to a personal and collective call for balance and flow, care and compassion. When we strive for balance in our own lives, we identify what we are ready to let go of so that ample space is made for creativity and new beginnings. This generates the possibility for flow in our inner and outer landscapes. When life is flowing, we return to a place of trust. We open to our great human capacity to deeply care for ourselves, one another, and the planet in a spirit of compassion. Through writing and art making, utilizing painting, drawing, collage, and printmaking with natural materials from the magnificent Oregon forest, you’ll have the chance to honor your own process of emergence this spring. This soulful and inspiring day in the beauty of the natural world also offers you a chance to deeply nourish yourself with a delicious lunch, a beautiful retreat setting and the supportive, uplifting company of other women.
