Where
Linne Doran is located about fifteen minutes outside of Duvall in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. You can find us via Google Maps or also view driving directions here.
What to Expect
We will be spending significant time outside regardless of the weather. We encourage you to be prepared for all types of weather and bring several layers (to stay warm and dry) so that you can be comfortable throughout the class.
As this program is about unplugging, we will ask people to turn off their devices during class time.
We will be in our outdoor classroom around a fire. Please feel free to bring a blanket or a Crazy Creek style chair to increase your comfort. Otherwise, wooden benches and stumps will be provided.
We also recommend that you plan for spaciousness and self-care prior to, during, and after the weekend. This class will cover a variety of core practices of deep nature connection, along with experiential exercises and awareness building tools that are key to emotional and social resilience. This class is a deep dive into connecting with ourselves and others. Your instructors will invite self-reflection, sharing, and vulnerability.
Facilities
Our Linne Doran campus includes Cedar Lodge, our indoor classroom and meeting space, as well as several outdoor classrooms including a large yurt and our outdoor classroom. There are porta-potties on the property. Linne Doran has limited cell reception and no internet access.
Participants are welcome to camp on our property on Saturday evening. Accommodations are rustic: there are simple campsites, potable water, and firewood provided.
If you would like more modern accommodations, there are some Airbnb/VRBO type accommodations nearby, as well as a Tolt McDonald Park (20 minutes away) for large RV set-ups. We do not have space for RV’s or for campers that are larger than a standard pickup truck
