Why do you want to attend the Camp Wildroot Collaborative Retreat?

Camp Wildroot encourages connection with our wild, spiritual selves, while staying rooted in our Earthly bodies and the natural world. While we don’t promote a particular religion, we lean into magical, earth-based belief systems. What is your own spiritual belief system and what are some of your foundational practices? And, how do you stay aligned with your own beliefs while also making space for a diversity of other viewpoints?

Describe your experience working in groups and facilitating group activities.

When participating in a group, if conflict or challenging emotions arise in yourself or others, what are some strategies you might use to care for your needs and the needs of the group?

Be sure to address the following in your proposal: How does the activity relate to the theme and mission of Camp Wildroot? This year’s theme is “Tend the Fire, Mend the Web.” Why do you want to do this activity in the group? What experience supports you in facilitating this activity?
