with Diane Renshaw and Daiyu Judith RandallMay 9-12 (Thursday-Sunday)
Experience the glory of Spring in the wilderness landscape surrounding Tassajara.Over and over the cycle of seasons brings change, both familiar and unexpected, to the mountains surrounding Tassajara. In the springtime birds, butterflies, and wildflowers are present in glorious abundance. This will be the fourth year since fire swept through these mountains, and the revegetation and recovery of the landscape has been a marvel to witness. Join us as we celebrate the season, hike on a variety of trails through the landscape, sit by the creek, soak in the glory of the night sky, and contemplate our place in this cycle of constant change.
Retreat fee: $240 ($204/Member)
