Trees : Weekend Retreat
Jun
28
to Jun 30

Trees : Weekend Retreat

The more we know about trees (their complex methods of communication, their mutual support, their positive effect on human well being) the more we have to learn from these quiet, gentle, patient sages. Trees not only clean our air and give us breath, they also calm our mind and help us be…be like them: generous, fruitful, strong, light-seeking members of interdependent communities of life. Through a series of creative outdoor activities led by local naturalist and tracker, byron murray, and reflective practices offered by Greg Kennedy, retreatants will fall deeper into the love and wisdom of trees, whose teachings we need more than ever in this troubled era of floods and fire.

Moon School

Moon School is a time to learn and connect in the woods with other adults, intended to inspire reverence, resilience and cultural transformation.

We walk, we talk, we wonder about our place in the web of life. We play and tell stories. And we ask big questions like: What does relationship to place look like in the Anthropocene?
