In 2022, each of the four seasonal Art Wanders retreats has corresponded with the four cardinal directions. The final retreat of the year, Westward Ho! gives us a unique perspective on westward expansion, pushing boundaries, freedom, adventure and opportunity while also remembering this was not the case for all. Fences were built to keep in and to keep out certain peoples. With a thoughtful and creative approach, we will metaphorically disassemble a fence and create a Peace Pole out of a wooden post. Peace Poles were first created in the early 1950’s, after the nuclear bombings during WWII, with the inscription, “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” and placed in revered places as tangible ways to remind all of us to do our small in spreading peace throughout the land.

No art experience is needed for this guided and exploratory retreat. All materials to create your own Peace Pole with solar light cap and stake for “planting,” a private room/bath, dinner Friday, breakfast and lunch on Saturday are included.
