Self Portrait of the Inner Landscape: Exploring personal mythology through writing and mask making

This is a full day in-person retreat with Lisa Kagan and Dawn Thompson

“There is in every human countenance either a history or a prophecy.”
– Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Who are we and who do we want to become? Beyond the self we present to the world and the many roles we play in our life, dwells a larger self. How easy it can be to lose touch with this essential, natural self. How vital for our own well-being and for the good of the world that we find opportunities to return to the self that dwells within. Join us for a soulful and inspiring day in the beauty of the natural world in community with other women. Through writing and mask making, utilizing painting, drawing, collage, print making and collecting materials from the magnificent Oregon forest, you’ll have the chance to honor your sense of self and your own personal evolution. This soulful and inspiring day in the beauty of the natural world also offers you a chance to deeply nourish yourself with a delicious lunch, a beautiful retreat setting, and the supportive, uplifting company of other women.

This retreat offers space for creative expression for women of all ages and backgrounds. No writing or art experience is necessary.

A professional chef specializes in using fresh, local produce to create meals that are truly culinary works of art. This retreat includes lunch.
