A Weekend Retreat in Whatcom County
inspired by the work of John Seed and Joanna Macy. The retreat will be held at Blue Mountain Farm on April 5 and 6. The intention is to come together in community on the land to nourish our hearts and spirits in meeting the challenges of our times.

April 5 - 6, 2008
Saturday 1:00 pm to Sunday 5:00 pm

Facilitated by Emily Farrell and Anne Hayden

Amidst the disintegration and conflict in our world,
we may fear for the future of life itself.
How can we know where and how to make a stand?
Where can we find renewal, hope and empowerment?

During this weekend gathering we will invite Nature
to guide us in responding to our world,
and in nourishing the wild heart -- inside and out.

Participants will be guided into individual encounters with wild
nature, touching into the wisdom that connects us all.

These encounters will inform us as we gather in a Council of All Beings
to receive and speak from the perspectives of the Other-Than-Humans.
This work is inspired by Joanna Macy and John Seed.

We will close with a Council of Humans, to express our responses, share
our dreams and intentions, and support each other returning renewed to
our human community.
