Welcome to Stillpoint Lodge
June 25th, 2013
Stillpoint Lodge would be home to 20 of us, Michele and me from Albuqueque, and 18 others from the Anchorage area who would be taking my Flying Colors multi-day workshop (more on that in the next post). The lodge is open only during the summer months and hosts a variety of retreats.
An artists’ pastoral retreat, the grounds boast hidden sculptures and other art, like this little crab that shouted a silent welcome.
This little pair of birds was strategically positioned alongside one of the walking paths.
Even the tree roots appeared to be artistically arranged.
My favorite view from the lodge was the one from the main room, and my classroom, as well as the deck. It looks out onto Katchemak Bay State Park. There are glaciers behind them thar mountains!
I was shown to my very own little cabin where this pipe art marked the turn off to my path.
My cabin was called the Hermitage, a tiny little place with the tiniest kitchen ever. Talk about a well-planned cabin with an incredible view! Not a morsel of space was wasted, but it was comfortable and homey!
A little shell wreath graced the wall next to my cabin door! What a restful retreat from the world and a wonderful classroom environment!
Next up: Class begins!
