Fall Retreat October 2-4, 2026

2026 Member Retreat: "Slow, Settle, Soften"

This intimate all-inclusive retreat is held at a property near woods and waterfalls; we'll put down the screens and reconnect to nature and humanity at Kishauwau Cabins.  Their "nostalgic vacation cabins... offer a blend of country charm with plenty of space to spread out. In addition to the fully stocked kitchens, each unit includes comfortable furnishings and {heating/air.}..  There is no WiFi access available in our cabins.   Due to the beauty of nature on the property (large trees), there is very little cell phone reception."


Options will include a limited number of private bedrooms and shared rooms across three cabins; plus this year, new private cabin options.

Group work, hikes, guided meditation, and art invitations will provide ample opportunities to explore your internal and external connections and intentions. WORKING, such as taking crisis calls or catching up on notes, will be EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED to ensure attendees the chance to truly rest and recover from demands of work. (Of course, learning, sharing, and networking are encouraged!)

Nutritious and delicious meals are included in the registration (dinner on Friday, breakfast lunch and dinner on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday).  By the time you head back home on Sunday morning, it is hoped you will feel nourished throughout mind, body and soul.
