A POETRY RETREAT TO FIND YOUR RHYTHM IN NATURE’S VERSE

We are delighted to announce that Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer will be leading an unforgettable retreat at High Camp Hut! Imagine stepping away from the demands of daily life and immersing yourself in poetry and nature in one of the most breathtaking and secluded settings in the San Juan Mountains. With only 12 participants, this intimate retreat offers the time and space to reflect, create, and connect—both with nature and a supportive community of kindred spirits.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THIS RETREAT:

Nestled high in the breathtaking San Juan Mountains, High Camp Hut provides the perfect sanctuary for a retreat that blends poetry, nature, and deep personal reflection. Led by  accomplished poet and teacher Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, this intimate gathering invites participants to explore how words can transform emotions, deepen awareness, and capture the essence of the wild. Through poetry readings, guided writing sessions, and thoughtful instruction, participants will discover new ways to express themselves while surrounded by alpine beauty. Beyond the written word, the retreat offers invigorating hikes, restorative soaks in the hot tub, evenings by the campfire, and chef-prepared meals—all fostering creativity, connection, and renewal. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or simply seeking inspiration, this retreat is a rare opportunity to slow down, immerse yourself in nature, and let poetry guide you home.
