“Only a writer of prodigious insight and blazing talent could create a book like Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World, which is at once a spiritual guide, a grand adventure, a writing manual and a story told from the heart that grips other hearts and tells them, “slow down. Look around. It is all phenomenal.”

-Tracy Ross, author of The Source of All Things

“Katie Arnold writes like a dream. This is definitely one of the rowdiest books on Zen ever written.”

-Steven Kotler, author of The Rise of Superman

“Gorgeous.”

–Harley Rustad, author of Lost in the Valley of Death

Flow Camps are small, immersive retreats designed to bring us deeper into nature and our own imagination. Together in some of the most stunning landscapes in the West–rivers, mountains, deserts—we explore simple, pleasurable practices that help us cultivate more energy, flow, ease, and inspiration in our daily lives. These are “camps” in the best sense of the word: they allow us to step outside of our busy lives and into beautiful, remote places, and to experience the magic of moving and writing together in wilderness. We arrive as strangers and leave as friends.
