 at on Sunday\, May 25 at Waubonsie State Park near Hamburg\, Iowa. The ret
 reat will provide a slow-paced\, reflective experience intended to build a
 wareness about birds and to develop your sense of connection\, creativity 
 and curiosity about the natural world. Leaders from our cohost\, The Natur
 alist School\, will take you on a journey to discover new and enlightened 
 ways to interact with nature in your own way. From a bank on the lake\, un
 der the boughs of a bur oak\, or reclining on a grassy hillside\, take in 
 the peaceful beauty and sounds surrounding you — and be inspired. (Poetry\
 , art\, journaling\, song\, meditation and other forms of expression may b
 e included.) Registration is limited to 15 people—please register at least
  one week before the event using the button at the top of this page.\n\nWh
 at to bring: Water and snacks for the morning (lunch if staying on)\, yoga
  mat\, cushion or blanket for grounding\, notebook and pen. (Art supplies 
 will be provided.) Binoculars optional. Park entry is free because you are
  with us. \n\nMore from The Naturalist School: \nThe Naturalist School Spr

 3-part retreat series) with special guests from Audubon Society of Omaha. 
 \n\nSunday May 25th\, 9:30 am to Noon (morning session) 1pm to 3pm (unstru
 ctured afternoon session). Meet at Washawtee Lodge\, Waubonsie State Park 
 near Hamburg Iowa. \n\nOn the eve of the New Moon we can enter the spaces 
 between the notes of birdsong and let frogsong vibrate our souls all the w
 ay down\, every which-way inside and out. As we follow the lunar calendar 
 as charted on the backs of turtles\, we open ourselves to the mysteries an
 d phenologies of the New Moon — as together we begin our ascent to summer.
  \n\nThis will be a morning of contemplative birding and embodied awarenes
 s. We will seek deep silences as we explore the sacred space between the d
 epth of our desire and the wild creatures that reveal themselves to us. Of
  course the old saying is true: bird watching goes both ways\, and it is a
  gift to see and be seen\, to be present to our wildest kin as fellow eart
 hlings — especially without binoculars and nature apps\, cameras and cell 
 service. Warning: may contain poetry and nature nuts.  \n\nRetreat Leaders
