Ancient Spirals Retreat

Women in the Woods Retreat
An art, myth, and mask making retreat for those who, regardless of gender identity,
are approaching, or already in, the woods of aging and menopause.

We might say that the cage of you is being gently rattled, as though something wants out, even as you’re not quite sure what it is. • • • Because menopause is initiatory, it’s meant to disturb to some extent, stripping away illusion and popping bubbles, leaving you exposed to deeper truths...

The snowshoe trail has been established around the retreat. It's about 25 minutes if you take your time going from the parking lot, down Dutch Grower's road. Through the meadow and back up to the Retreat. The trail is on a small map on the fridge, but it is not hard to follow.

Saskatoon Glassworkers' Guild is having a Graal glass blowing workshop Sunday October 30 & Sunday Nov 6, 2022. This is a fun 2 day workshop that combines glass painting with furnace glass blowing.
For further details and to register see their workshop page at:

In this workshop we will start with a graal "blank". Making the Graal blank involves first blowing a small, clear bubble of glass, often no bigger than an egg, and overlaying it with hot coloured or clear glass. It is then annealed and cooled to room temperature.

ASR was visited by moose this weekend. Did not see any of them in person but a lot of tracks and other solid evidence was found surrounding the building.
