HOW Can I Prepare?
Step 1:
Read (or re-read)
The Golden Name Day
by Jennie Lindquist
Reading the classic beforehand will set the stage for how nature can help regenerate your soul, and give us a shared book to discuss.
There will be time each day to work on the project you choose. What artistic or creative project do you want to try or finish?
Step 2:
Be thinking of a personal creative project to bring
Step 3:
Meet the other women at our pre-retreat
Zoom Party
Registered participants will receive an invitation to gather online on Friday, May 9th at 12:00 pm MT.
Every campus gathering leaves a legacy for those who come in the future as we build this gathering space for one another.
Step 4:
Select a beautiful teacup and saucer to donate to campus
