Living, Dying, Music, and Mystery – A Retreat Exploring the Threshold

“Everyone knows everything sings and dies.

But could it be, too, everything dies and sings….”

Galway Kinnell

Join singer/songwriter and wise woman, Barbara McAfee, in a soulful investigation of life and death, living and dying, song and silence, beauty and mystery. This retreat incorporates people of any belief system.

During our sacred time together, we will:

• share stories about what we’ve learned from encountering death
• delve into experiences that make us come alive
• sing simple, nourishing songs (no music to read, no talent required)
• gather a collection of songs to sing for our loved ones as they face illness and death
• savor poetry that awakens our spirits
• take time on the land to listen to deeper wisdom

 Expect beauty, laughter, tears, deep play, and delicious surprises.
