RCC Midwest Regional Retreat
The RCC Midwest Region Affinity Group is excited to announce a retreat August 12 - 14, 2024, at Siena Retreat Center in Racine, Wisconsin.
The Midwest Region Affinity Group meets quarterly and is for any retreat centers located in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. We believe collaborative opportunities come out of being in person together, and our sustainable future is our network with each other. This event is an opportunity for retreat centers in the Midwest to build strong relationships, experience rest and renewal, and explore our opportunities to work together. We hope you'll join us.
REGISTRATION
To support emerging regional connections within the Retreat Center Collaboration community, Siena is generously offering a registration fee of $110 per person. (The rate stays the same for each person registered, and there is no cap on how many staff members may attend from each retreat center.) Future gatherings will likely cost more—this is a rate to encourage participation from across the region at our second gathering of this kind.
ONSITE LOGISTICS
Siena will be coordinating all registration for this event, and the registration fee will cover meals and lodging for two nights. Each person will have their own bedroom with private bathroom (shower) in their room. Explore Siena's amenities by clicking on this link.
If you have questions about registration, amenities, or would like to extend your stay, please call the Siena registrar at (262) 898-2582.
Join us to meet your peers, learn from one another, and enjoy time away from Zoom.

Western Regional Gathering
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!
