Retreats

Forest Therapy is an innovative health solution that draws on nature’s ability to calm us down. It is inspired by Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of “taking in the forest,” or, “Forest Bathing.”

Pack your poetry suitcase and get ready to travel around the corner, across the ocean, to your backyard, or to your past and future. We’ll focus on generating poems from physical landscapes, as well as the inner landscapes of memory, imagination, and belief.

Join us for the Introduction to Centering Prayer retreat to deepen your personal relationship with God, and to prepare to receive the gift of contemplation. Introduction to Centering Prayer will allow you to be still and know God through this method of Christian silent prayer.
