 Back by popular demand, we’ll be at Nine Mountain Retreat Center in Plainfield, Massachusetts for our 18^th Annual Retreat! The folks at Nine Mountain held the line for us so we’re able to enjoy the retreat at the same price as last year!! Several exciting workshops are planned including Real Roots with Andrea Reisen, Chris Marano will introduce us to Big Medicine herbs with a Bad Rap,  Matthias Reisen is on our men’s health panel, 7Song will share his wisdom and Community Clinic experience as keynote but most of all, we’ll celebrate and recharge in the company of our clan before retiring to the comfort of our woodstoves to hibernate.

Held every November, NEHA’s Annual Retreat is an informal opportunity for our members to gather together for relaxation, learning and fun. For many, it has become a time for re-connection with self, community and nature as the autumnal season winds down.  We’ll immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Green World, steep in the refreshing outdoor hot tub, luxuriate in a cleansing wood-fired sauna, nourish ourselves with lovingly-prepared, delicious meals and learn from our peers. We’ll take time explore the beautiful Nine Mountain Forest, play Herbal Jeopardy and help preserve our precious green allies at our seed exchange. Come join us, you’ll be glad you did!
