How to get there: Please contact
Trillium Farm for exact directions. Their phone is
541-899-1696, or email them at trillium@deepwild.org.The
workshops are held in a wilderness area in southern Oregon,
about 45 minutes from Ashland and about the same time from
Grant's Pass. It's also about 45 minutes from Medford,
which has the closest airport.
What
to bring: The chance of
rain is remote, and during the day it will probably be
quite hot. However, it can cool quite a bit in the
evenings. You are in a natural, wooded area, so bring
appropriate walking gear. Swimming is clothing optional,
but there are many pools for private bathing. The closest
groceries are a 30 minute or longer drive on a gravel road,
so if you have some favorite foods, be sure to bring them
(snacks, etc). Also, the nearest gas station is 22 miles
away, so be sure to gas up!
Accommodations:
Trillium farm
sits in the crossing of two creek canyons, with pools and
wild creeks to swim in - which in August, will be part of
our afternoon schedule due to the heat! Excellent food is
prepared for us, as well as places to sleep. Food is
included in the price of the workshop, as are
accommodations.
The
dome for meditations or classes. We'll probably use the
schoolhouse instead...
