About:  During the retreat we will explore ways to stay present, open-hearted, and engaged in our troubled world. Participants will be instructed to find a “sit spot” on the land, where they will listen deeply to the wisdom of the Earth. Later, in circle, they will share stories from their sit spot and discuss ways to integrate the lessons learned into their lives.  The Sedgwick Reserve is a UC Santa Barbara research center in the Santa Ynez Valley. The registration fee covers all meals, refreshment breaks, and facility rental. The event is supported by MHP volunteers. Please see below for accommodation options and room/camping rates.
