It’s time to remember who you are. Spring is the perfect time to reclaim your inner child- remembering all of that energy and potential that has been with you since you were born. Remember how the earth used to inspire you. Call to you. Hold you. We will play like you used to and invite you to call it back into regular practice, embracing all that the season of Spring offers.
This is the PERFECT day to bring the kids! All ages! Re-connect with your true self, each other and the more than human world. Share gratitude, play, get silly, (maybe get a little muddy if conditions are just right), get creative and be ready for an afternoon of facilitated and self-guided fun!
Join SACRED THREAD facilitators Moira & Ashley in Evansville (30mins from Madison) at Living Kindness, a retreat center. With a 1/4 acre of woodland trails to explore and indoor options in case of weather, we will be supported by this special space.

About The Venue
Held in a peaceful, wooded, and private setting. Exact address will be shared upon registration. Living Kindness business address is not searchable on Google Maps. Park on the culdesac and walk up the paved driveway to the back of the residence by the fire circle. Restrooms available. Being able to amble on foot (cane or walkers would work fine) would be advised for this offering as walking on (sometimes uneven) wooded trails will be part of the experience.
Thank You to the Ancestors of the Land
As we gather on the ancestral lands of the Ho-Chunk people, we give our deepest gratitude and honor to their ancestors, and to the Ho-Chunk people past, present, and emerging. We promise to do our best to support the good works of Indigenous people today, and generations to come.
