Program Description

We lead week-long artist excursions into the backcountry, visiting some of the most exquisite and vulnerable landscapes. Trips are open to participants with all levels of experience, even first-time campers. Our Retreats introduce skills for safe, comfortable backcountry travel with a curriculum designed to push participants to continue their creative process while traveling. Each participant is given a reader tailored to illuminate regionally specific ecology and cultural history, issues of indigeneity and land sovereignty, access to natural resources, and a range of perspectives on human connection to the natural world. In 2020 we offer three juried backpacking retreats: May 17-23 Talking Knots: Juried SW Backpacking August 30-Sept 5 Old-Growth Wisdom: Juried NW Backpacking September 12-20 Roots, Springs & Stars: Indigenous Artist Retreat
