Celebrating Water: Regenerative Culture Retreat

 Join us as we celebrate and discover the magic of water. Over the course of a day and a half, we will share water stories, reflect on our personal relationship with water, explore the physics of water, the spirit and mind of water, and the hidden messages in water.

We will draw lessons from water as a healer and a matrix of relationship and transformation.  

Small group activities, water rituals, a water happy hour, poetry, time with our local waters, and time for personal reflection are integral parts of this journey of discovery.

This retreat is part of a larger exploration of Regenerative Culture. It draws on the wisdom of indigenous peoples, scientific knowledge, and personal experiences. Regenerative principles and kincentric ecology are used as the foundation for the water journey.

Paula Westmoreland and Lindsay Rebhan will be guiding this retreat.
