DATES: September 10th - September 14th, 2023

Join Nadine Mazzola and Tam Willey for four days and four nights of slowing down and leaning into the practice and philosophy of forest therapy with structured guided time together as a group, prompted solo explorations on the land, and time for yourself to do whatever feels good for you. We will dig into the business side of being a guide with facilitated brainstorming and vision sessions while also holding space for personal and collective explorations. The Rowe Center has lots of places to relax both inside and out so bring a book, a journal, maybe a game, and anything that will support you during your personal retreat time.

About The Rowe Center
(22 Kings Hwy, Rowe, MA 01367)
The Rowe Center is an unusual and magical place. Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains and surrounded by wooded hiking trails, lakes, and trickling streams, the wonder of nature is everywhere. The 1400 acres of town forest land surrounding the property are held in trust “forever wild.” Rowe is just north of the Mohawk Trail (Route 2), one of the region’s most scenic and famous highways.
