2008 Outlandish Women's
What a
Learn ~ Build ~ Create ~ Heal
Fun ~ Inspiration ~ Connection
A second primary focus is the opportunity to Connect with and listen to ourSelves. What we women often most lack is self-confidence along with confidence in Self. There is ample opportunity to Connect with ourSelves, the Earth, each other & Spirit. We have a rare chance to find and Listen to our own authentic Voice. When we feel Connection, Creative Expression & Healing are also almost inevitable-- what an inspiring and life-expanding package!
It is this blend of Learning, Connection, Creativity & Healing that we believe creates the ideal Workshop Experience.
Choose your week(s) according to your interest and schedule. Since we are building several cabins, no matter which week(s) you attend you can experience a wide range of construction steps.
We encourage you to come for as long as you are able. We want to work with you to make it possible for you to come for as long as you wish. For obvious reasons, some priority is given to the longest stays.
Circles & Ceremony
Healing/ Healers
Creativity & Expression
As we connect with ourSelves, the Earth, each other and Spirit, movement into Wholeness is a natural extension. And, we also find ourSelves wanting to express our movements. Creativity & Expression are natural almost inevitable extensions of Connection.
We can create and express with ourselves or in small groups with other women here.
Beds & Meals
Our Retreat WebHome gives you a sense of ,this land our rooms & who we are.
We wish we had unlimited space and after these Workshops we’ll be that much closer. Smile. Meantime, there is limited enrollment. Much depends on how many of us can stay in tents.
We are reserving all Outland sleeping spaces for Workshop participants. This includes shared rooms, lofts and tents with beds, cots, & mattresses. Rooms are usually shared and some GuestHouses are set up as cozy equipped dorms. It is helpful if you can bring your own tent and camping bedding. Need determines who sleeps where. Tents will mostly be under covered ramadas, out of direct sun and rain.
It is unlikely that there will be private rooms for a single woman. Inquire if this is important to you.
Whether you are in a room, loft or tent, you have ongoing access to all facilities in the Hearth, our Main House. Plus, you have use of the kitchenette and other facilities in the GuestHouses.
We have great well water and several solar-heated showers.
Most food except treats is included in your sliding-scale Workshop donation. Our yummy meals are made as much as possible from organic, unprocessed and local ingredients. There are always vegetarian and vegan options as well as some meat dishes. Food is always available to you.
You’ll need to provide most of your own sodas, snacks and treat foods. Please, no cigarettes, alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs.
We all share cooking tasks, the Connection of feeding and being fed. Women, we do eat well!
Outland, an Incredible Land
1000 gorgeous high desert acres to hike and savor, 1½ miles from the nearest neighbor. Live with a spectrum of wildlife and howl with the coyotes. Immerse in the Expansive skies, red-clay mesas, rocky ridges and profound Spirit of this truly amazing land. Yes, there is still majik! There is much more information and photos at our WebHome.

Accessibility—Physical & Financial
The Sliding Scale is one way we try to make Outland and the Workshops financially accessible. If you cannot afford the bottom of the suggested sliding scale, offer whatever you can afford. Talk with Jae to explore what is possible. It is most important to us that you are able to be at the Workshops and to be at Outland for as long as you wish to stay. We will do what we can to make that possible.
We try to keep all spaces as much as possible scent-free and ask you to use scent-free products, avoid perfumes, essential oils, scented lotions or shampoos, etc. We provide unscented products in each building.
Mi Casa and Honey House are also dander-free. Cats recently lived in Bluebird and a cat does lives in the Hearth, our Main House. There may be an occasional dog staying in cabins or campers away from Gathering Areas and Building Sites. We will be using gas mixers for concrete and adobe Meals will as much as possible accommodate your food requirements.
Purchasing an Accessibility Golf Cart as well as some road repair is high on our priority list as soon as we can afford. We regret that It is not likely possible for the 2008 Workshop Season. Ah ha, smile, 2009 is another year….

Our Sliding Scale is always whatever you can afford.
Talk with Jae about making your stay affordable
or about tax-deductible donations to help make land and events accessible to more women.
If you can offer more than the top of the sliding scale, it is most helpful to help make this amazing land and the Outlandish Adobe Workshops available to as many women as possible.
When choosing your payment, please consider your assets, investments, employment or income potential, and other resources. Please note also that the low end of the sliding scale does not cover the cost of food, materials, tool kit, and other per-participant expenses.
Your deposit reserves your space. Talk to Jae if this amount is a challenge. We regret that there is a limited enrollment each week.
If you cancel, your deposit is refundable if we are able to fill your spot-- minus a $100/ week fee or a $50/ weekend fee. It may be possible to extend your stay for extra nights, sliding scale $35-95/ night. Let’s make this work for you!
You Can Indeed Help! – Donations or Loans
Outland can sure use whatever you are able to donate (tax-deductible) or loan for building materials, ongoing expenses, Projects and to subsidize participation by low income women.
Thanks to the new living spaces we are building during the Workshops, materials loans can be repaid from GuestHouse income. Your $5000 loan covers basic building materials for a single cabin. We expect to repay all loans within 2 years. Our intent is to build 4-6 cabins each year. Needless to say, Jae would love to talk with you about options. Bg smile,
Whether you attend the Adobe Workshops or not, if you are in a position to make a tax-deductible donation, please consider offering what you can to help make it possible for us to sponsor these Events and for low income women to participate in these skill- and confidence-building Workshops.
