So
I must stay for a long time, Until I have grown from
the rock, And the stream is running through me, And
I cannot tell myself from on tall tree.

ANNE DELLENBAUGH
anne@herwildsong.com
Anne
began guiding wilderness trips
in 1983. In 1990 she founded HER WILD SONG in the belief that
women's spiritual
lives are vitally important and that nourishing our spirits
with wind and trees and river and sea is restorative not
only to ourselves, but to others around us and even to the Earth
herself. Inspired first by the teachings of feminist philosopher
Mary Daly and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, from the beginning
Anne has combined the insights, principles and practices
of
feminism and Buddhism with her work as a wilderness guide
and teacher. To this mix, she now adds Tantric Yoga, her current
passion, which she studies with Paul Muller-Ortega.
Anne is a registered Maine Guide, a graduate of the National
Outdoor Leadership School and of the Outdoor Leadership Program
at Greenfield (MA) Community College. She holds certifications
in canoe and yoga instruction and Wilderness First Responder.
She received a BA from Smith College and a Masters in Theological
Studies from Harvard Divinity School. She created and named
the Ordered Chaos of the Wild and Original Lotus, a contemplative
lay community, in 1997. Anne is an ordained member of the Order
of Interbeing, and a former Zen priest. For more information

…the
way of the river is sacred, and this grove of trees
is sacred, and we ourselves, we tell you, are sacred.

SHARON SANDSTRUM
Sharon began cooking at the age of 5, buttering toast in her
granddad ’s restaurant with a paint brush. The love of the
kitchen and cooking never stopped and were further nurtured by
her mother and grandmother. Each summer in her teens Sharon ran
the outdoor kitchen of a girl’s wilderness camp in NH where
cooking was done on an open fire. She has worked in the kitchens
of the Common Ground Fair, the Michigan Women’s Musical
festival and Greenfire Retreat Center for women. She teaches
classes at Rising Tide Market and provides private and small
group cooking classes upon request.
In 2002 her twenty-year career in public social services came
to a screeching halt after being diagnosed with the final and
terminal stages of thyroid cancer. Sharon turned to food as a
major healing force. Today she lives to feed and nourish others.
Sharon began cooking for Her Wild Song in 2006. She truly believes
that what, how and with whom we eat deeply affects not only our
bodies but our spirits as well. Sharon feels that our kitchens,
wherever they may be, are blessed by the presence of our ancestors
when we cook and eat. Sharon’s meals nourish and support
us on many levels as we retreat together in the wild.
There
is no defense against an open mind and a supple
body in dialogue with wildness.
