We all have stories that have made us and stories we want to share. Inspired by Mary Oliver’s reflections on the “river” as a metaphor for all the voices of poets and writers before us, in this retreat we’ll deepen our connection to our earth and to our creative ancestors through poetry writing rituals.

Bring sturdy walking shoes and whatever you like to use to write.
