Exploring Life's Seasons, Creating One's Path

A Retreat for Women of All Ages
March 9-11, 2012
From dinner Friday 7:00 pm through Sunday 2:00 pm
Still Point Mountain Retreat


Join us as the season changes from winter to spring
Walk winding paths in the slowing changing woods
Dabble creatively--or pursue a passion--to mark one’s path
"Come away and rest awhile"

Through walking, writing, observing, breathing in silence, sharing and "hands-on marking" using a variety of multi-art spaces and supplies, we will reflect on our own paths and share their intersections.

Featuring:

  • comfortable cabin amenities in a wild, wonderful mountain setting
  • good, healthy meals
  • warm fires, panoramic views, spectacular sunsets
  • art supplies to play with --- without expectation of product or skill
  • space and time to bring one’s own writing, art or meditative craft
  • access to pond, river, stream and 23 miles of marked hiking trails
  • sisterhood with one another, silence for reflection and renewal

Still Point Mountain Retreat is located near Charles Town, W. Va. on 35 acres overlooking the Shenandoah River Valley, adjacent to the Rolling Ridge Foundation’s 1400 acre wilderness preserve. Still Point and its neighbors, Rolling Ridge Study Retreat, and the Friends Wilderness Center offer hospitality and rest for all. Whether spiritual journey, educational opportunity, or love of creation calls you to the woods, you are welcome.

Cost for the weekend, including lodging, craft materials and all meals is $150. Scholarships or exchange rates available. $50 deposit required with registration. To register, contact: Paola at 412 362-1070 or Mary Ann at 301 277-5767. Email: paola@scommegna.com or mary_ann_welter@yahoo.com
