in the
West Virginia Mountains
at
Camp Sheppard, located in
Roane County, West Virginia.
on September 16th at
Sassafras Farm.
The retreat isn’t until September, but we’re filling up fast. Even with an increased attendee limit from last year, we only have three spots left and we can’t add more. (There will be a waiting list.) Workshops this year include cheesemaking, preserving, soapmaking, breadbaking, candlemaking, natural skin care, spinning, felting and fulling, quilting, container gardening, mushroom log inoculating, apron making, dulcimer playing, painting, goat milking/husbandry, and how-to for power tools.
Evenings will be “freestyle” with craft-sharing time and some very special entertainment. West Virginia dulcimer player and maker Jim Good will entertain us with his music on Friday evening (September 14) and Granny Sue, a real live old-fashioned folk storyteller will regale us with her tales on Saturday night (September 15).

I smile thinking about those coming with good friends, those making new friends, those coming with mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, daughters, grandaughters.
I smile thinking about meeting the cast of characters, 2 legged and 4 legged.
I smile thinking about how much I will learn, how many incredible folks I will get to meet.
I smile thinking about hearing the dulcimer, listening to Granny’s oral histories, looking at the poster that Kelly has drawn and shared for us, and watching the mini demostrations that will pop up.
I smile knowing that when I meet you, you probably won’t be 6’9″, have 6 legs, 12 hands and 3 brains!
I smile.
Be well,
Billie
