Autumn CAMP ~ for Women*

October 13-15, 2023
South Bristol, NY

Autumn CAMP for Women 2023* allows for expansiveness and spacious free-time to just BE, listen, feel and experience.

Winter Camp for Women was such a resounding success ~ we are creating a brand new experience for Autumn 2023 during peak Finger Lakes foliage season!

We are in a NEW LOCATION – Shimmering Light Farm & Renewal Center in South Bristol, NY!!

Growing up in a Western culture, many of us experience time as a set of linear boxes on a calendar…just get through the list of things to do in the too-short time available.

How many of us reminisce about long hours playing outdoors as a young child… or stepping into the sunshine with absolutely no agenda but to enjoy the day… or focusing wholeheartedly on a single creation for as long as needed…

  • Are you curious about how our ancestors experienced time before time was quantified as money?
  • Would you like to gain perspective and understanding of your own individual perception of time and how that may work against (and for!) you?
  • Is it time to shift your perspective and change your relationship with time ~ so that YOU are designing and living your best life?

Join us as we play with the cyclical rhythms of the spectacular Light on the Hill retreat land, the sun and moon, the day, the night and the resplendent autumn season to explore our own experience of time…how it serves us and how we might shift to serve us better.

How about taking a little time-out-of-time to slip into the timelessness of Autumn CAMP for Women* 2023. Together we will revel in our child-like curiosity as we explore and receive timely insights from:

  • An expedition to a waterfall with water that may be 4.3 billion years old yet revitalizes itself in new forms and patterns every single day
  • Creating ephemeral nature art with forest beings in various phases of their life cycle to understand and capture your own time-essence
  • Experiencing how beauty, awe and wonder shift our perception of time and open a liminal space of untold possibilities
  • Conjuring herbal alchemy with tree and plant beings who have offered their gifts through eons ~ and still offer their delicious, nutritious, life-giving elixirs for us to enjoy
  • Adorning ourselves with treasures received from the land, which have had lives of their own and may continue in new forms through our imaginative designs
  • Gathering in the abundant gifts of the autumn to hand-craft your own leather-treasure-pocket to carry your intentions for how you can experience Time moving forward
  • Circling around a fire in sisterhood as women have done for millennia…sharing, listening, growing, supporting, being supported.

October 13, 4pm through October 15, 2023, after lunch

A Bit More about CAMP:

Why do we need Autumn CAMP ~ for Women*? Because FUN feels good and because science clearly demonstrates that a relaxed and playful mind is a creative mind and that engaging in playful activities makes us more productive and motivated. We need creativity and truly fresh innovation to address the challenges of our sometimes-crazy world and lives. Plus, (as if you needed a logical reason) according to the Harvard Business Review, innovation is the #1 quality that employers seek most. Precisely because old ways of doing things are clearly not going to keep working in our new world.

Will you reward yourself, even bring a friend (!) and join us for Autumn CAMP ~ for Women*?
