Event Details

WHERE: The 529 acre Westwind site on Oregon’s north central coast- Westwind is a powerful convergence of land and waterscapes with sea caves, old growth Sitka Spruce, a fertile estuary, 2 mile long sand spit and lodging for 100 people.

WHAT: We will be gathering in two beautiful lodges at a historic beach-side camp, sleeping in cabins, and eating fresh local foods. 

There will be time to:

  • Connect with the wild landscape. 

  • Be guided by Robin’s teachings and wisdom.

  • Express our experience through art
    and music.

  • Share cultural grounding with local tribal members. 

  • Spend quiet time in solitude to reflect upon our gifts.

  • Be witnessed by the community in
    the gifts that we are willing to offer to the world. 

  • Co-create a ceremony of reciprocity as well as Welcoming the Salmon Home. 

"I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is
what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
