September 14th-20th. All inclusive retreat with art, yoga, meals and
lodging. Enjoy soaking up nature while learning and growing.
This is an all inclusive retreat that includes food and lodging. Total
costs Monday-Sunday is $825 with $425 of that total due on arrival. You
can pay check or cash, Zelle or Venmo preferably but other arrangements
also available. Wildacres is funded by an endowment which helps
alleviate costs for the retreat. This endowment serves to strengthen
and spread the humanities while making time and space to have difficult
conversations.
Join Artist and Art Therapist Micah Goguen as we immerse ourselves in a
long week of creativity and 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 week 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.
A full media pack will be emailed with all info and details of area and
what is included. If you would like any of this material in order to
make an informed decision, you can contact me via email.
Micah will lead a class for Independent Study towards a particular
process or project that you have explored in the past. Goguen will
schedule up to 3 calls prior to leaving including a complementary call
prior to registration to discuss options. Materials will be provided
and the guest will only be responsible for buying the surfaces for the
final project. Goguen will curate exercises leading up to your final
goal to ensure a success oriented experience. You do not need any
previous art experience. If you would like modules centered toward a
beginner, those will be available to you.
Here is the itinerary for the week. Always listen to yourself and your
body. We encourage people to push themselves to engage but also trust
them to know what is best for them. You don't have to feel pressured to
do all activities.
We will have mindful movement and low impact yoga available. It is
optional to participate but included in the event.
Massage services upon request (hour or half hour) for a fee.
Also, there are many hiking trails nearby, horseback riding, and trout
fishing. Listen to live music at the end of the week.

lodging, daily meals in the dining hall, art and yoga. Just a little
over $100 a day for an all inclusive week you won't soon forget! A $75
