Self-care is never selfish.

It’s looking after the only thing you have to give the world.

Wildness, Enchantment, and Hope:

Deepening our Engagement with Nature

an online Courage & Renewal® Retreat

7:00 pm October 20 – 12:30 pm October 22, 2023

This online retreat explores ways to

  • enrich our relationship with nature
  • discover the enchantment of speaking aloud the names of creatures, plants, and landscapes in danger of being lost forever
  • revel in the gifts of small things. 

Bringing an open-hearted love of nature back to life through the power of poetry, images, texts, and music we will offer time for personal reflection, and small and whole group conversation. We’ll follow the Courage & Renewal® approach to create a welcoming, caring, and trustworthy space.

We will take time away from our screens for personal reflection, and encourage participants to take time outdoors. Through small and whole group conversation we will follow the Courage & Renewal® approach to create a welcoming, caring, and trustworthy space.

We hope this retreat gives us an opportunity to recognize our roles in both ecological breakdown and ecological renewal. Wildness, Enchantment, and Hope: Deepening our Engagement with Nature holds an opportunity to navigate a shifting landscape with renewed energy and joy. We hope you’ll join us!

Registration is limited to 12  participants. Ticket Sales end October 16th, 2023.
