Silent Wilderness Retreat

Limit 5 participants.

The focus of this retreat is listening in nature. Your primary “spiritual directors” will be the creatures, beings, and elements of the more than human world on Kittatinny Ridge in the Appalachian Mountains, and you are encouraged to spend significant time out of doors.

Each day will include a morning and evening circle and individual listening times with Laurel/a director. The retreat is open to everyone whether you are new to or experienced with silence, but LGBTQI2S+ folk might find that space held by a queer and gender queer practitioner particularly valuable.

Kirkridge is a Christian retreat center that is used by people of many and no faiths. There is no expectation that participants have any faith affiliation.

This retreat can be taken in conjunction with either or both of the Wild Gender Retreat and the Wilderness Prophets Course.

In order to have a balance of participants of various identities and avoid patterns of domination, we are asking folks to apply rather than simply register; we will be holding a number of spots for participants with marginalized identities.
