This Fall we will be returning to the glorious Methow Valley and the Inn at Mazama for a repeat of the super successful retreat we had there last Fall!

The Methow Valley is a vast, breathtaking area in the NE corner of WA, known for the dramatic beauty of its mountains and yellow Larches in fall, as well as for good local cider and art and wild-west feel. Mazama is a charming tiny hamlet in the heart of it, steeped in beautiful scenery, and a 20 minutes drive west of Winthrop.

About the Retreat:

This will be a four-day, three-night outing, based at the wonderful Inn at Mazama. Each day we will spend the morning focused on our workshop (in front of the big stone fireplace if it’s chilly enough), and go hiking in the warmer afternoon. We will have 2-3 easy, beautiful hikes, be awed by dramatic mountains and the fall colors, gaze at the vast starry night, breathe in the fresh forest air, visit the wild west town of Winthrop, enjoy good food and local beer and cider, relax, and connect with nature, with ourselves and with each other, inspired by the peace and beauty of nature around us.

About the Workshop:

The centerpiece of this retreat is the workshop: Our Values as a Compass for Shaping the Next Chapter of Our Lives. This workshop will give us an opportunity to explore how our values and priorities have shifted over our lifetime, what is true for us now, and what these changes mean for how we want to live our lives, and where we want to invest our time and energy, to ensure that we continue to live in alignment, fullfillment and harmony with who we are, as we move forward in life.

The retreat is limited to a maximum of 6 participants to ensure quality.
