Schedule for July 15-18, 2019
This retreat offers a menu of activities with options, but it is not tightly structured. We don't expect everybody to participate in every scheduled session. Each participant manages their own time and flow between retreat sessions and the rest of the Breitenbush facilities.
All sessions are in the North Wing, except where noted.
