Welcome!

I host weekend retreats for friends at my home in Leyden, MA a rural town of 700, halfway between Greenfield, MA and Brattleboro, VT. My intention is to create a sanctuary for authentic belonging— a physical place of comfort and beauty— where we can gather in person to continue our healing work and resource ourselves so that we may survive, thrive, and be of service in these times. 

Retreats are not open to the general public, but by invitation only. Meals are potluck, and there is no charge for lodging. Donations to defray expenses are gratefully received, but not required.

Please enjoy these photos of our home!
