Guests can explore creative pathways - dance, writing, storytelling, and visual art - to connect with the natural world.

Lodge guests can join Marlene and Mimi to explore a variety of arts experiences in dance, creative writing, storytelling, and visual art. Working in tandem, these long-time creative and educational collaborators will lead participants through a series of creative activities designed to bring new ideas to life. No experience necessary! Come ready to try everything and make new friends along the way. Come ready to say “Yes!” and have fun!

  • December 7-9, 2024
  • January 18-20, 2025

In a safe and joyful environment, participants will discover (or rediscover) their unique creative gifts.

Guests are encouraged to attend all days of each program.
