Friday September 18rd (5:00 pm) through Sunday September 20th (1:30 pm)
The 2014 Parish Retreat will take place at the Bishop’s Ranch in Healdsburg (1.5 to 2 hours’ drive from All Souls). Our annual retreat is a special time for community building, spiritual growth and exploration. This inter-generational event includes activities for children, youth, families, and adults of all ages. In addition to programmed time, the weekend schedule includes free time for reflection, rest, adventuring and fun.
Lodging: Three types of lodging are available, (specific room assignments are made by the Jr. Warden):
•
Double Occupancy in Webb Lodge or Ranch House West Wing (16 rooms)
•
Family Occupancy in Ranch House or Harrison House (13 rooms with 3-4 occupants) or the Cottages (10 rooms for 3-4 occupants)
•
Camping – a low cost alternative with space under the trees, using the bathrooms in the pool or the Ranch House.
Cost: Our costs for the retreat are determined by the prices set by the Bishop’s Ranch. See the registration form for specific prices by lodging type. Our goal is to make the retreat financially possible for all who wish to attend. We have a limited amount of money budgeted for retreat scholarships and we welcome additional contributions for that purpose. If you would like to be considered as a recipient of a scholarship to attend at a discounted rate, please contact Liz at
liz@allsoulsparish.org. Scholarship decisions will be made by the Associate Rector.
If you are unable to attend for the full weekend, it is possible to join us just for the day on Saturday.
FRIDAY— 5:00 pm and on, bring and share snacks and beverages. Friday evening is an informal social time to relax, get acquainted, and settle in. Dinner will not be provided, so if potluck snacks will not satisfy you, please stop to eat en route or to bring your dinner.
SATURDAY — All three Saturday meals will be provided in the Ranch refectory. During the day, we will have programmed activities for adults, youth and children ages 3 - 12. In the afternoon, enjoy time to re-create, take your children to the recently renovated swimming pool, or join in some great intergenerational activities. Before dinner on Saturday evening we will gather to socialize, and after dinner we will have a talent optional creativity night (think wild, fun, silly, entertainment – a chance to share your story with All Souls folks like never before!) and then closing with Compline.
SUNDAY — We will gather in worship and have a morning session together. Both breakfast and lunch at the refectory are included.
