Program cancelled.

For women.

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind retreat designed to rehydrate your soul and unlock your creative muse. The landlocked mermaid is a symbol of contemporary woman trapped in the paradox of being worldly and domesticated on the one hand, and untamable and intuitive on the other. Following the splash of last year’s event, join Margot Datz, creator of A Survival Guide for Landlocked Mermaids, and her special mer-sister guests for a program that includes

  • Awakening creativity through writing, art, music, and movement
  • Connecting with like-minded and like-hearted women
  • Honoring the shamanic elements of nature with a women’s fire circle celebration at the lake.

Refresh your inner mermaid in a weekend rich in mirth, magic, and inspiration.
