A Walk between Heaven and Earth

A Women's Backpacking and Creativity Journey
With Elaine Sutton and Jenny Kostecki-Shaw
Tues. Aug. 12-Weds. Aug. 20
Cost: $400-$600 Sliding Scale

Please join us for a week of walking through the wild beauty of the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains in Northern New Mexico. From our base camp in a high alpine meadow, we will spend our days hiking, writing, drawing, sitting, stretching, cooking, eating, sleeping and dreaming. There will be time to share our stories and dreams, cook great meals, relax and open our hearts. This is a great opportunity for learning to listen to the land, and write in the language of wilderness. This retreat is open to all levels of wilderness and writing experience. Good physical condition and some backpacking experience are recommended.
