A note from Erin:
Dear friends,
Carl and I are jubilant to invite you to join us in one of our favorite places on Earth, beautiful Boulder, Utah, and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. We’re hosting a retreat this summer, from July 19-25, at Boulder Mountain Lodge and Hell’s Backbone Grill. Time has a magical way of expanding on this sacred land, and we are so looking forward to spacious days of embodied practice, intimacy with the land, field trips to sacred sites, and primary satisfactions like music making, communal ritual, staring at the vast starry sky as we gather around a fire, and so much more. The Refugia Retreat is intended to Nourish Your Life at the Roots. Several wonderful people from our Refugia training have already signed up, and I can tell you for certain, you’ll be in excellent company with some truly beautiful human beings on this retreat! We warmly invite you to join us. If you’re longing for an infusion of natural beauty, for your soul to remember your own vastness as you immerse in grogeous wild landscapes and dark skies full of stars you’ve forgotten, if you’d delight in guided excursions to sacred sites, if you’d love to delve into gentle practices that invite you home to your own body, your caring heart, and your deep belonging to this beautiful Earth, please join us for the Refugia Retreat! These sacred lands are at least as beautiful as our more famous national parks like Zion, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches, etc., but waaay less crowded. It’s our favorite!! The deep peace and spectacular beauty of this unique desert landscape are profoundly nourishing to the soul. We hope we might get to see you in Boulder, Utah! Reach out to us if you have any questions.
In the midst of it all, thanks for choosing to make the world a kinder place. Let’s keep taking generous good care of ourselves and each other as we work toward the more beautiful, life-giving world we know is possible.
From my heart,
Erin

- I appreciated this read. Here’s an excerpt: “Politics is so broken precisely because politics so completely dominates our lives and minds. We first have to nurture social worlds in which we don’t relate to others primarily as political friends or foes, if we’re to build effective political coalitions. And marinating 24/7 in news-panic is a terrible basis for finding the energy and motivation to spend a few hours a week volunteering, or fundraising, or otherwise actually making a difference.” Amen.
- A related great reminder.
- The Natural World is an Elephant World. I loved this so much.
