10am - 5pm
How
do we locate and define “wildness” in today's highly-technologized
world? How do we interface with earth's primal places to reclaim a piece
of our animal selves? All cultivated lands have wild roots, as do our
cultured minds. It's time to dig into old foundations, pull up what was
long ago buried, and reclaim our wild souls. Please join me in the
lushly-forested foothills of Mt. Hood for a wild romp of imagination,
breath, and words. We'll discover and explore our own wilderness of
spirit through freewriting, sharing, and related readings and
discussion, plus breathing and meditating with the land and trees.*
*We will do some walking on trails, but it will not be strenuous.

About the Instructors:
Lyssa
Tall Anolik holds a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Washington
and an M.F.A. in Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. She
taught environmental education for ten years, was a ranger naturalist
for the National Park Service, and has written watershed curriculum
materials and interpretive signage for state and local parks. Lyssa's
recent nature writings (essays and poetry) have appeared in The Wild,
EarthSpeak, EarthVision, ViceCatcher, and Drash. She teaches in and
around the Portland area.
Betty
Esthelle is a registered nurse who became a psychotherapist, then a
healer, then a teacher of healers. In 1984, as a result of her
involvement in healing herself after a diagnosis of lymphoma and a near
death experience, Betty was inspired to expand her work and originate
Body Enlightenment. Betty turned 85-years-young this April. As a
birthday gift from the universe, she developed a deeper and more dynamic
identification with Mother Earth. To learn more about Betty and her
