What Matters Now?
An intimate, half-day writing retreat
Sunday, June 7, 2020 | 2:00 - 5:00 pm | via Zoom
An intimate afternoon of soulful writing to ground in what matters most to you in your writing and your life.
With the world shut down, we are being called home — like it or not — to stay put with ourselves on a certain spot on the earth. What mattered before may not matter now. What matters now may not matter tomorrow. Uncomfortable as the unknown may be, truths are more available in this indeterminate place than when we falsely think our lives to be ordinary and predictable. What a great time to write with depth and care, setting aside stale habits and patterned thinking, open to discovering something fresh and real and new.
What matters now? I'm writing on this question often, and invite you to join me for an afternoon to dive in and write together, following the thread of what truly matters to us, as writers and as souls. Perhaps the inquiry will lead you to finally commit to that writing project you've been meaning to do, and you'll use the circle to ground into your writing so you can begin or resume that work. Or maybe our inquiry will lead you to scrap all of that and explore something else — something more urgent and real than you originally planned. Why not do it together, with others intent on using this time to write and live what truly matters now, in this unpredictable, terrible, beautiful world? Sliding scale and all are welcome, but there's very limited space, so sign up now.

11-day San Pedro Sacred Medicine Retreat
Psycho-spiritual Integration Retreat in Peru
July 1-11, 2020
CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS.
Let me know if you want to be on the list for next year.
Let me know if you want to be on the list for next year.
San Pedro is a visionary plant medicine of the Andes that helps us feel our profound connection to spirit, nature and our own heart.
When used with wisdom and care, it holds a powerful potential for helping us release our limiting patterns and integrate deep spiritual insight with daily life. As part of my work with consciousness researcher Frank Echenhofer, I am offering this special retreat for those who are on a committed spiritual path.
On this 11-day journey, we will settle into a magical garden surrounded by sacred mountains where together we will cultivate an atmosphere of love, trust, nonjudgment, relaxation and deep play. Gently supported to find your own way, you will sink into yourself, the natural world, and your relationship to spirit.

"A POWERFUL 10+ day retreat in Peru at a beautiful center. Heart opened. Deep insight into the nature of mind. Potent healing. Whoa!"

Weekend Solo Retreat
A supported, individualized retreat at the location of your choice.
A solo spiritual retreat at the location of your choice supports you in a self-directed process that is tailored to your needs.
Solo retreats minimize distraction and sharpen our ability to distinguish the ego's impulses from the spontaneous movements of the heart and soul. For less than the cost of a group retreat, you receive individualized attention, and you will have the time and space to digest and work with what you are learning. A powerful way to establish a new spiritual practice, deepen the work you've been doing in your daily practice, open up your creative expression, or make headway on a specific issue. I have done a great deal of solitary retreat, and engaging with this potent process can help you tune into a deeper place of inner knowing and self-trust so that you can open more fully to life and to the spiritual journey.
How it works:
• We first meet by phone to clarify your intentions. Out of this, we will create a structure and schedule for your retreat time. You decide where you want to stay and make the relevant arrangements. You could book a room at a healing center or pitch a tent by the river, rent an airbnb or put a cot in a backyard shed. The only requirement is that you be in a safe, quiet place outside of your normal routines where you have access to adequate internet or phone service for us to do our sessions.
• We will schedule a one-hour phone session on each of your two retreat days at a time that will best fit your process. We can meet early in the day to get you started, mid-day to address concerns that came up in your morning practice, or late in the day to look together at how the day went. If you would like more than one session a day, additional sessions can be added at the same cost as my package rates.
Dana for retreats is sliding scale. For a weekend retreat, the dana ranges between $220-$370 USD, and includes 3 sessions: 1 planning session in advance of the retreat (with follow-up emails and practice materials), and one session on each day of your retreat. Longer retreats are also available.
Intrigued?
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to talk about the possibilities. Email me to set up a time.

"I JUST FINISHED a solo, long-distance retreat with Jane. To say I am thrilled is an understatement. Jane is a relaxed, attentive and wise teacher. I experienced her as a unique and exceptional guide — for both one’s writing and awakening."
—Mara S, retired corporate consultant, poet and storyteller, Norway
