One Wild Earth, 2018
a Weekend Community Gathering with Wolves
6pm Friday, September 21 to
noon on Sunday, September 23, 2018

at Mission: Wolf Sanctuary, Colorado

Description: This Wolves and Wilderness Experience is a weekend community camping retreat to ignite the heart of compassion. One Wild Earth takes place at Mission: Wolf Sanctuary in the Wet Mountains of southcentral Colorado on the Autumn Equinox. At One Wild Earth we will focus on team building and interpersonal relating with each other and the more-than-human world. We will utilize medicine walks, ritual, and facilitated interactions with wolves to remember our gifts and our place of this world. Through nature connection and intimate experience of community we will embody the medicine of our belonging. Our circle of connection will expand through the weekend to include the wolves, the land, and wolf sanctuary staff as we work shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip, in a sanctuary improvement project. We will explore how our experiences of reciprocity, compassion, and individuality within pack can elevate joy within our lives when we return to our families and home communities.

Date and Time: Arrive to Mission: Wolf between 4 and 6 pm on Friday, September 21, 2018. Our time together concludes at noon on Sunday, September 23, 2018. We will remain onsite throughout the duration of the retreat.
