Join Artist and Art Therapist Micah Goguen as we immerse ourselves in a long weekend of creativity, self exploration along with healing as a form of processing. Wildacres Retreat Center is nestled outside of Marion in NC just 45 minutes from Asheville. This weekend is designed to incorporate nature, meditation, mindful movement and creativity during this trip. We will have a balance of meditation and other activities that will help foster reflection and integration. All meals and lodging are included in the costs. Rooms are double rooms hotel style. The kitchen staff can accommodate any dietary restrictions.
