We have received a communication from The Abbey regarding our scheduled stay with them for our Spring Retreat. They have informed us that the Abbey is closed, and they will be unable to provide any food for our stay. We have worked through some calculations and weighed our options and feel that it is too much of a financial burden as well as a burden on our leaders and participants to provide food for the entire retreat.
So, we have made the decision to change the retreat location to Creek Bend in Colorado Springs. This will be a 5 day retreat beginning Tuesday morning, 4/9, and ending the afternoon of Saturday, 4/13. The retreat day will begin at 9:00 am and will end at 5:00 pm each day to allow folks commuting from out of town time to travel safely. For those that would like to extend their retreat day, we will provide a light supper at 5:00 pm and will begin simple sit sessions each evening from 6:30-8:30 pm. All lunches and dinners will be provided.
We will be changing the cost for the retreat to $100/day, so those of you planning to participate for the full retreat, the total cost will now be $500.
There are no sleeping quarters at Creek Bend, however there are hotels nearby or potentially the option of setting up an AirBNB for those commuting from out of town.
This is a big change to our original plan! We feel strongly that this retreat wants to happen and that with the adjustments made, we will still be able to hold a lovely time of coming together in silence, a retreat to support deep, transformative practice in community.
I will ask that each of you reach out to me to let me know if you would like to continue as a retreat participant. If these changes are not agreeable to you, a full refund of deposit and/or payment will be made to you.
Deep Bows and much love to you all!
