Workshops, Lectures, Classes, and Art Shows

Whispering Willows Retreat is an ideal space for large or small gatherings. The space is brimming with creative energy and incorporates the beauty of nature in every direction. Builders and architects who’ve visited have commented on how the design is aesthetically striking from any viewpoint. There are huge windows in absolutely every room, and there is no window you can look out of or space you can occupy on the property that does not offer an inspiring view and foster an appreciation for the natural world.

Of course, this type of setting inspires the creative spirit and allows the mind to relax into the space of learning, appreciating artwork, exploring one’s own innate creativity, or just having fun!

 


Workshops/Classes

The Great Room & Kitchen

Whispering Willows offers flexible options for setting up your class or workshop. There is an available 500 square foot room that is perfect for setting up multiple tables, or provides plenty of floor space for movement exploration, while the adjoining private bath allows for easy restroom breaks. The expansive rear deck allows for outdoor set-ups when the weather obliges. The other restrooms and the kitchen are also available for workshop participants’ use. In keeping with the essence of peace and healing, we do ask that any food brought onto the property be vegetarian.
Art Shows/Sales
There are expanses of wall just waiting to provide the backdrop for displaying your artwork, should you choose to have an art show at Whispering Willows. In addition, the spacious great room allows for several tables to be set up to display your 3-dimensional creations.
Vegetarian Cooking Classes
Should vegetarian cooking be your choice, the extraordinary gourmet kitchen could not be better suited for demonstrating cooking techniques and allowing several participants the space to dabble in the art of cooking. The kitchen’s huge center island is ideal for class participants to gather around for viewing or practicing their new skills. In addition the kitchen offers double ovens, a ceramic cooktop with downdraft, microwave, dishwasher, wine-cooler, wet-bar, and 2 refrigerators! The built-in bookshelf offers an extensive collection of vegetarian cooking resources, for those present to peruse, make copies of recipes, or write down titles of favorite books. The adjoining dining room provides the perfect space for participants to sit down following demonstrations to sample the gastronomical delights together.
