September 21 - 24: Join us for a joyous exploration of resilience and connection amongst peers in the Western Region!

This Fall we will gather Western Regional Retreat Centers from the US and Canada at Big Bear Retreat Center in California. We'll gather to connect as peers, meet each other from nearby regional centers, and discuss topics related to bio-regional sustainability and resiliency.

There will be plenty of open time to connect with each other, ground in nature, propose topics for discussion during breakouts, and to dive into topics together. We hope to have time for play, art, and laughs. Anyone is welcome to volunteer to lead discussions, share their wisdom, or lead an activity (mindfulness, art, play, dance) – share your interest by contacting guestservices@bigbearretreatcenter.org

We encourage you to join the dialogue while also embodying rest and restorative practices.

This retreat is hosted by Big Bear Retreat Center and Whidbey Institute, offered in collaboration with RCC. It is the group’s intention to organize among peers with a chance to connect deeply and regularly amongst our region. We hope to see you there!
