Above are some shots of the most recent retreat that took place in mid-March. That wild cherry tree was in full bloom and as the wind caught it, it transformed into Narnia, where petals took the shape of tree nymphs as they wisped toward the ridge. Other growth was just beginning to pop through green topography. I wonder what kinds of surprises await us for the retreat coming up May 1-3! I’m pretty sure everything will look very different.
Let’s be inspired and move with the rhythms! In March, we stitched a blank journal. In May, we will turn on the griddles and learn what the realm of Encaustic medium has to show us. Yes, I will teach you how to make Encaustic art. Friday night, you will have a lesson on the basics of Encaustic.
We will spend time in silence, playing and creating and listening to our instructors. Our line-up of instructors include: Silence, the creative process, our own body and breath, nature, the Spirit of God hovering and creating with and through us, as we are curious and open. Saturday, we will immerse ourselves in those teachers together. The only thing you need to bring is curiosity! SIGN UP TODAY AND SAVE $115!

Jennie attended her first quiet retreat of this nature in 2002 with Klesis and it was such a transformative experience that for the next several years, she attended in a serving capacity and learned the art of “setting the table” to create a beautiful, inspiring backdrop for others on retreat. She began leading her own retreats beginning in 2006 and has since led dozens of retreat experiences for hundreds of women. She deeply believes in the power of practicing silence and in the ways that retreats can assist us in reconnecting with our capacity for joy, curiosity, wonder, and our ability to be receptive to and make contact with our highest, purest, essential selves, where God resides.
