Writing the Wild Within:Nature Retreat for Writers & Seekers

---

For writers, journalers, seekers, and nature lovers, Writing the Wild Within: Awakening Our Soul’s Lessons connects your inner wildness with nature’s gifts. Through learning to listen to our inner voices, as well as to the many languages and ways that nature is speaking to us, we will awaken the raw and untamed messages of our souls. Using writing as a conduit, we will hear the lessons that are meant for us—the ones our souls want us to know. 

Join us for a Sunday afternoon in the gardens enjoying nature, our time together, and the wisdom that writing offers.
