Full Circle Retreat offers
workshop-retreats that emphasize the arts and spiritual practices. It is a
place for those |
|
who have a
desire to find a way into, return to, or expand a creative practice; a place
to relax and create in an |
|
informal
rural setting, surrounded by the inspiring sights and sounds of nature. People of all experience levels |
|
are welcome. Cultivate your creativity at a workshop and enjoy the company
of others who share your interests. |
|
At Full Circle Retreat we have a variety of retreat-workshops
designed to |
|
|
inspire and energize your creative
spirit. Some are traditional
studio art |
|
|
instruction, while many emphasize
the creative process, self-expression, |
|
|
healing methods and spiritual
practices. The practice of an art form can be |
|
|
a way to invite intuition, your personal spiritual guidance,
and a way to |
|
|
experience the creative energy available to all of us.
Creative expression can |
|
|
help maintain balance and wellness
of mind, body and spirit. For each person |
|
|
the creative journey is a unique
exploration. |

“When we tend our creative life like a garden—cultivating
it with attention—wisdom grows |

in the form of our own personal teachings.” -

Mid-week Retreat-Workshops range from one day to several days. |

Full Circle Retreat is in the heart of south-western |
|
Wisconsin’s driftless region known for its hills, valleys |
|
|
and trout streams. Its unique, off the beaten path |
|
|
location, is quiet and regenerative. It is approximately |
|
|
10 miles southwest of Viroqua, Wisconsin, 30 miles |
|
|
southeast of La Crosse, 90 miles northwest of Madison, |
|
|
180 miles from Milwaukee, 200 miles southeast of the |
|
|
Twin Cities, and 270 miles from Chicago. |
|
|
Full
Circle Retreat is made up of a two story, once |
|
|
working farmhouse, and an outbuilding used as the |
|
|
studio. Guests find the cozy, homelike atmosphere |
|
|
of this peaceful place, warm and inviting. It is worlds |
|
|
away from the usual classroom, hotel or conference |
|
|
center. Nestled in a beautiful valley, surrounded by open |

prairie,
woods and a stream, it is a natural sanctuary. |
|
This refuge invites a deeper, less distracted environment in which to listen to the inner voice that informs life. |
|
|
There is an outdoor labyrinth near the stream, for walking, prayer and meditation and the grounds are graced with |
|
|
flower and vegetable gardens to enjoy. |
|
|
“Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most; quiet, reflective |
|
time. Time to dream, time to think, time to contemplate what’s working and what’s not, so that we can make changes for the better.” |
