On my last day, I felt honored to add my name to the long list of creators and thought leaders who have passed through Mesa Refuge.
In the midst of seismic change, the time and space to think expansively is a true gift.
Mesa Refuge played a critical role in my transition from nonprofit executive to author—helping me find my voice when I needed it most. Mesa’s grassroots orientation makes it a rare jewel among residencies.
The word “refuge” has never been better suited to a place or experience. Imagine scribbling in your notepad, overlooking Tomales Bay with a cup of just-brewed coffee and a freshly picked apple from the garden at your side.
