What in your life is calling you, when all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, the lists laid aside, and the wild iris bloom by itself in the dark forest, what still pulls on your soul?
 – Rumi

Who Can Attend:
The retreat is open to all CCC women. Come for the entire weekend or for the day on Saturday.

Accommodations:
Overnight space is limited to 23 on a first-come-first-served basis, in three heated cabins with bunk beds and full bath in each cabin. There is no limit on those who wish to come for the day on Saturday.

Meals:
We do our own cooking in the newly renovated, fully equipped kitchen.

There will be four meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and brunch on Sunday.

When you register, you will be asked which meal you would like to help prepare. Meals are an opportunity for creativity and simplicity. Your team is free to choose its own menu.

**In addition, bring cash ($20 in small bills) to cover meal costs shared among all the participants. If bringing food, please bring your receipts labeled with your name. The receipts are totaled and divided by the number of participants to determine the fair share for each. Some may need to be reimbursed for paying more than their share, some may need to add to what they have already spent for purchases. For those who are not supplying food, come prepared to help reimburse those who are.

Besides your bedding (sleeping bag or sheets/blanket), pillow, towel and personal belongings, please bring:
