Join us as we gather to honor our deep
connection with the Earth, who is our
mother, our sister, our grandmother,
our creator, and ourselves.
She is us and we are Her.
During this event we will participate in
earth-centered activities that remind us
not only of our connection with Her,
but with each other. 
 Join 70-80 wonderful women for a 3 or 5 day retreat in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina. Experience workshops, worship, song, dance, laughter, great food, and a variety of evening activities. Return home with your soul filled by new friendships and a renewed sense of our connectedness to the world around us.
