Upcoming Events

Fall 2025
Like the Great Egret who stands still and perfectly attentive at the edge of the water, these two annual events invite us into a place of deep listening and presence.

The soul wisdom within us and the wisdom of the natural world are always here for us. But in the rush and press of our daily lives it can be difficult to slow down and turn toward what nourishes.

These two events, each held in a place of wild natural beauty, invite us into that kind of time:
