June 28 @ 7:30 pm – June 30 @ 12:30 pm

Facilitated by byron murray and Greg Kennedy

The more we know about trees (their complex methods of communication, their mutual support, their positive effect on human wellbeing) 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.
