Hi, it’s us,

Gwen and Stacey. Our shared joy comes in the simplest moments of awe and attention, a ripple, a swaying grass, the light on the leaves. Our shared grief is in turning open hearted toward a world too busy, too fast, too hurtful for tender hearts and tender shoots. We’ve been creating and holding space together since 2017 and this is our fourth Spring Retreat together at Hope Springs, weaving devotional practices, laughter, tears, poetry, and the profundity of the spacious quiet.

We excite to be joined by Danielle Graham and Libby Smith who will offer supportive practices weaving rest and breath during our time together.

We can’t wait to be back at one of our heart homes and to gather with you soon!
