Make it a Weekend and Escape the City!
There is energy building around a Return to the Retreat. Many Guild members and friends will be extending the networking and fellowship with a group camping trip immediately following the conference through the weekend (Friday, October 9 – Sunday, October 11).
We are reserving sites and a shelter at Faye Bainbridge Park, set on Puget Sound and accessible by water as well as by land. No RSVP or campsite reservation required—just meet us for part or all of the weekend right at the park. We encourage you to bike, paddle, or sail to Bainbridge Island. Bring your own food and drink. Please visit our website for more information.
This relaxed setting in nature will help us reconnect with each other and the land and water that support us. Our annual membership meeting will be held during this retreat, as well as potluck meals, games, and time for quiet reflection. Come enjoy time around the campfire!
