You are invited to join me for a creative Sunday retreat at the Keillor Log Cabin, situated on the North Saskatchewan riverside at the Whitemud Equine Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. This historical building and its grounds will be our site to enjoy for the afternoon, as we immerse ourselves in peaceful surroundings.

This afternoon is yours to connect with the natural world and bring it alive in your creative life, as well as discussion with other writers and artists. We will set aside space at the end of the day for participants to share what they have created, if they choose.

Date: Sunday, May 25th

Time: 11 am to 4 pm

Cost: By donation

This is an open space for anyone interested in connecting with horses, nature, and their creative self.

Accessbility:

Part of the reason I chose this location was so it would be accessible to those living within the city limits. The Whitemud Equine Centre is not, however, readily reached by transit, as the nearest station is at Keillor Road and Fox Drive, about a 15 minute walk from the Centre. The cabin itself is accessed from the main parking lot of the Equine Learning Centre on foot via a dirt and gravel pathway. The cabin does have a few stairs for entry.

What to bring:

Please bring any materials you may want to use and an open mind! As it is spring in Alberta and we have the opportunity of being outdoors, layered clothing (a light sweater or jacket and long pants), sunscreen, and insect repellent are recommended. The grounds are gently rolling and we can explore nearby the cabin, as well as be in proximity with horses, so sturdy, close-toed footwear is required.

The Keillor Log Cabin, Whitemud Equine Centre, and the Whitemud Ravine Park within which they are situated, were built on traditional land that was used for many centuries by Indigenous peoples to forage medicines for healing purposes. Nearby is kihcihkaw askî – Sacred Land which was established in partnership with the city of Edmonton, for local Indigenous community members to gather and share knowledge. We can recognize our role in reconciliation, and learn about the important history of kihcihkaw askî, acknowledging the privilege we have in being able to freely use this land.
