Women’s Retreat

November 10-12, 2023

Friday Dinner until Sunday Brunch

Gift yourself a weekend of nurturing and healthy community living. As a camp we strive to offer campers of all ages the chance to deepen their connections with the earth, eachother and themselves. Come be a “camper” with us.

Take time for solitude, silence, sunlight, moonlight, deep breaths, and wonder. Find healing through rest, *sisterhood, meditation, movement, and communal creativity. Celebrate, contemplate, re-create, and return centered and energized to thrive in your everyday world. Surround yourself with tall trees, open skies, winding trails, and other inspiring women*. Lean toward the restfulness and rootedness of the coming winter.

Nutritious and delicious meals, snacks, lodging and optional programs are provided from dinner Friday through brunch on Sunday. Lodging is in Focus Hall and in the Lodge.

*This Women’s Retreat is for all cis and trans women, as well as non binary people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women.

We have a tentative schedule for 2023, see below. Activities are optional, but we do request that you join in for Opening & Closing Circles and meals.

For meals and programs it is $100 per person. This is the base price, without lodging, and also the price if you would like only to join us for Saturday and not stay overnight.
