WEEKEND RETREAT 
Storying Through the Inner/Outer Landscapes: Writing & Ecology for Healing  

Registration is now closed.
Hosted by The Whidbey Institute, Whidbey Island, WA 
Enjoy a long weekend away! Using nature-based, creative experiences, you will experience how nature teaches, mirrors, & affirms your inner landscape. You will have an opportunity to explore your life story in a nurturing, spacious setting. I will also guide you through practices you can use to deepen your story after returning home. This three-day experiential retreat will focus on your relationship to your life story; transition, flow, & transformative potential of your story, & ways to more compellingly “live into” your story. This retreat will especially serve you if: you are seeking a deeper expression of your gifts, you feel stuck, you are in a life transition, or you have suffered loss & want to move forward. Rates include: seven delicious, healthy meals accommodating individual dietary needs (lunch on Fri through lunch on Sun); lodging for two nights; access to extensive trails, labyrinth, gardens on the luscious institute property; group sessions in a lovely meeting hall; guided experiences on the land; solo time to explore, reflect, write; as well as inspiration and activities to support your individual process.

Here are some photos I took at The Whidbey Institute on March 4th. Imagine it even more lush in May, when the spring bloom is in full swing!
