2012 Skillshare Retreat

2012 Women’s Creative Collective Skillshare Retreat “Re.generation”
Muhu Tasen* Ojai Valley
June 8 – 10

Theme
Our 2012 skillshare will honor collective re.generation, a process of renewal, restoration, and growth. On ceremonial land in Ojai, we will co-create workshops and creative practices to strengthen our relationships to our roots, ourselves, each other, and the earth. Coming together at this year’s skillshare we will work toward building more resilient communities, transforming ourselves, and increasing our capacity for radical imagination.

What is the Skillshare?
The skillshare was originally founded by the WCC in 2009 to gather the knowledge of collectives in Southern California, to help each other heal, reconnect to nature, and to bring that wisdom back into our urban spaces and our communities. This year’s skillshare is organized by WCC and new friends. Coming together, we will work toward building more resilient communities, transforming ourselves, and increasing our capacity for radical imagination.

The Details
The skillshare will be held June 8-10 at Muhu Tasen, a Native American ceremonial space in the Ojai Valley. The weekend will begin on Friday evening and end on Sunday afternoon. A $20 suggested donation covers the cost of all meals and accommodations, which will be provided. Please let us know if you are in need of camping gear or transportation. Carpools will be available and arranged by Skillshare organizers. We are also working to arrange for childcare on-site. We want to make this space as accessible as we can to all who wish to attend, so please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
