Touchstone Retreat 2025
Reconnect With You Wild Side!
While harvesting and working with plants, participants often find themselves in a state characterized by a soft somatic awareness, a sense of timelessness, an active imagination, and a curious open-heartedness. This form of wild tending is restorative and supportive in a reciprocal relationship with our surroundings.
Papermaking and Paper Sculpture
Together, we can build a beautiful partnership with nature, discovering fresh ways to weave our personal stories together with the natural world. Sensory experiences facilitate a heart-centered connection where we realize that we are intrinsically a part of the life all around us.
Work Directly with the Land
During our retreat, we will harvest sustainable plants from the edges of the landscape and from the garden for artmaking. Using our wet sheets and pulp, we will learn to sculpt, emboss, cast, and incorporate natural fibers to create three-dimensional works of art.
