This is an invitation to gather for a week of spiritual renewal and fellowship in the pristine alpine lakes and meadows of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

From a central base camp, these eight adventurous days are dedicated to exploring together what is most important in our lives, to open ourselves into the rhythms of nature, to the community, and to absolutely having a great time with each other in one of the most beautiful vistas in all the Sierra. I have been returning here year after year with people of all ages and physical capacity since 1977.

I will be leading the group with an emphasis on letting the week grow organically, allowing ourselves to listen gently, yet deeply, to what is next. With packhorses carrying in our gear, we will walk or horseback ride (optional) to our base camp. Nestled within a series of delicate high alpine lakes, we will have an abundance of time for walks, meditations, group sharing, ritual, and personal solitude.

Dates: August 14-21, 2010. Meet on Saturday afternoon, August 14th, at Hunewill Guest Ranch (founded 1861), Bridgeport, CA. Pack in on Sunday to base camp, and return Saturday afternoon, August 21st.

Fee: $1250.00. The fee does not include transportation, or personal camping gear. Enrollment: $250 deposit. The remainder is due 30 days prior to departure. Please contact me for more information.
