I would love feedback from you, my esteemed readers, customers, students and friends. I am designing a new live-in-person retreat for nature journalers: four days / three nights of pure nature journaling in an immersive backcountry experience. I would offer two per year, in different habitats and seasons.
Imagine the luxury of spending three full days doing nothing but nature journaling in a cohort of like-minded fellow journalers . . . and with customized one-on-one feedback and skills-specific tutoring throughout the whole experience.
The retreat would be suitable for beginners to advanced journalers, as I would tailor each experience to the appropriate level. Nurturing, inquisitive, and expansive.
No excuses. Just pure nature journaling growth and mindset.
Please let me know your interest in the following retreats, which would be all-inclusive (we meet you at the airport and transport you to the retreat site, where all lodging and meals are included). Cost will be around $1100 to $1300 per person with some sliding scales up or down in price for different accommodation types (from camping to bunkhouse to private rooms).
Summer: The Bighorn Mountains Wyoming — late June – early July 2022 — In Wyoming’s remote Bighorn Wilderness at the historic Spear-O-Wigwam Lodge, where Hemingway worked on A Farewell to Arms in 1928. Lake kayaking or canoeing would be an add-on. Beautiful log cabins in a very secluded, peaceful setting. What more could you want, and with the creative spirit of Hemingway to inspire us? [Fly into Sheridan, WY, or drive.]
Early Spring: The Sonoran Desert — March 2023 — In the stunning Aravaipa Wildnerss north of Tucson, Arizona, we would occupy the entire Aravaipa Canyon Ranch nestled along a singing desert creek. Evening campfires, stargazing, strolls amongst the majestic saguaro cacti, and sketching the red-rock cliffs. [Fly into Tucson, AZ, or drive.']
Early Fall: Alaska — August 2023 — Experience the incredible landscape of the Far North and its legendary wildlife: caribou, muskox, wolves, and moose, as well as iconic birds such as gyrfalcons, Tundra swans, snowy owls, and snow buntings. [Fly into Fairbanks, AK.]
