Retreats for August 2021

When one state opens up another one or more close?

Never mind…

It’s all coming together slowly. Retreats are still going ahead and if not, most have a good cancellation policy. Best to secure your spot than to miss out altogether.

There are some great retreats coming up in August and they’re all so different. Take a look…
