Soft Animal : a Fall Temple Retreat

October 17-19, 2022 at Hope Springs Institute

The space to arrive. Slow time like the sweet nectar of honey, like the nourishing syrup of molasses. Watch the light change. Choose magic. Poetry over breakfast and the laughter that nudged the silence. Space for whatever needed space. Gentle, gentle now. Nothing is fucked here.

May we love what we love.

May we listen for the shared spirit,

over and over announcing our place in the family of things.

Gratitude to everyone who said yes, who showed up in their brave humanness, to Hope Springs for nurturing us, for land and spirit for guiding and holding us, and to Hope Hamling and Tasha Brandt who offered somatic practices during our time together.
