Location and Dates

We will gather in Manzanita, Oregon, which is on the northern Oregon coast just south of Cannon Beach. (See the Location page for more information.) The retreat will begin with a welcome dinner the evening of Wednesday, March 10 and adjourn with a farewell breakfast the morning of Sunday, March 14. Because of the intimacy of these retreats, only 20 participant spots are available.
