Our First 100 Days: A Mostly Unstructured Retreat
With Nichola Torbett and Lacey Hunter
April 28 - 30, 2025
Calling all social justice movement folks, activists, disruptors, healers, organizers, visionaries, and artists! By April 30, we will be 100 days into this presidency. How are you doing? How is your heart? Your body?
Come away to the mountain for a (mostly) unstructured retreat to reflect–on your own or with others–on how you and we are moving in these times. We’ll have some time in circle to reflect together, if you like, but most of the time will be yours to do with as you please–journal, read, nap, hike, make art. Organizations are welcome to come together and have some time to strategize if they like.
Massage and optional spiritual direction will also be available.
Here at Kirkridge, the spring streams will be in full flow, the daffodils will be in bloom, and the creatures will be stirring. Come let the beauty of this place speak into your life and work.
