One tired attendee of the Xara Dulzura retreat weekend up in the mountains to the east of San Diego, California, opts out of the tent arrangements and sleeps under a tree. This is the third year for the Creative Mythology Retreat and is held at the Madre Grande Monastery. Attendees come to relax, socialize, participate in the arts and allow themselves some freedom to be themselves during the retreat weekend which began Friday April 22 and ended Sunday April 24th.
