It’s time once again! Since unable to gather in 2020 and then 2021 for our 10th, I look forward to 2022!

Our rescheduled10th anniversary will be heaped with making memories, and I for one can not wait to have you all!

We will again be on the campus of Dumas Bay Center in Federal Way, Washington. All meals included; single accommodation rooms with sink/toilet within, shared shower blocks in each hall. Workshops will be throughout the facility, including outside with dedicated studio space in two studios.

The whole place became another place, or became more deeply the place it truly was; and they and I became different, something happened for a second to the air around us and between us. It happened-this glimpse of something dimly seen, dimly heard, this sense of something deeply hidden.

This final year, 2022, is a vaccine required retreat. Due our enrollments you must show proof of vaccine to attend. Before July everyone enrolled will be emailed with instructions for providing proof of vaccination. Masks mandates will be evaluated closer to the time of gathering and will follow local city and state requirements.
