WHAT THIS RETREAT WILL BE ABOUT
The ReWild retreat is a journey into human wholeness building foundations around the work of Bill Plotkin and Animas valley. We will explore our Wild Minds through nature inquiries, Work that Reconnects, Open Floor movement, music/singing, community building, culminating to offer an initiation process. We will travel in the four directions of a southern hemisphere medicine wheel. The directions are a model for human wholeness in each of the life stages.
We are inspired the mythological story of the Shambhala warrior/lover as a guide to the journey. A story about a time on earth when humans begin to wake up and show up. These people know they belong in the web of life. They aspire to bring forth a new culture based on the fruition of wisdom and compassion. They cultivate the four facets of human wholeness to collaborate in the Great Turning as described by Joanna Macy.
This retreat is for all ages and we have an aspiration that young adults can afford this opportunity.
If the cost is a limitation for you, we are open to hear your needs and think together about some possibilities that can support you.

Elders
Bill McEwan
I’m a 76 year old retired counsellor with an academic background in Agricultural Science and Theology. I live in Blenheim with Lois. In 2015 I felt overwhelmed by an ignorance of climate awareness in Marlborough and sat in the centre of Blenheim for a week with my son Robbie and fasted. That led to the formation of Climate Karanga Marlborough. I’m giving a lot of attention to ways of being an older person in an adolescent society. I am a work in progress and treasure close listening, silence, patience, emotional warmth, tenderness with shame and support for the broken-hearted.

I am a seventy year old retiree with a professional background in education and mental health.
I’m passionate about the well-being of the eco-system - in the widest sense of the word - and all that interconnects within it.
Running alongside this is a love of making collages, singing, poetry writing and playing an indigenous North American flute, all of which are expressions of my internal world.
Family, friends, humour and adventure also play an important role in my personal well-being.
