We will gather in Trilogy Lodge, a dorm-style lodge that sleeps up to 20. Catered gourmet vegan meals (from Water & Wheat), wildflower walks, and worship circles make up this weekend "back to the land" on the 400+ acres of woodland and lake within the spirit-filled place called Ronora.

Our theme "We Gather Together" comes from our desire as sisters to come together after 18 months of following "social distancing" strategies to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We’ve had to cope with social isolation and loneliness. Now we can meet face to face, spending time together on the back deck of Trilogy Lodge. We will take time to explore, relax, drum, sing and commune with nature and each other.

To attend the in-person retreat, registrants must be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.

Theme: We Were Made for These Times

Of all the times and places we could possibly have lived, we live here, now. As confusing and frightening as this world may be, we were MADE for these times. We have the strength and courage we need to get through these challenges, and in the process build a strong foundation for the world we're creating for ourselves and future generations. We'll build these strong foundations through strong connections. When we gather together this Fall, we'll reach out to connect to each other, our sisters. We'll reach down to connect to the deep, rich magic of the earth beneath our feet. We'll reach back to connect with The Ancestors. We'll reach up to the stars to connect with our dreams of the world we'll create.

Anticipated Registration: Mid August
