Heartland Trail, playing a round of golf, quiet time in a fishing boat, hiking at the Headwaters of the Mississippi, sitting on the dock and watching the sunset, taking a walk, reading a book, worship, spiritual reflection, taking an afternoon nap, a good game of cards, “schmoozing” in the kitchen...whatever the activity...the Fall Retreat promises to be an enriching, relaxing and enjoyable time for all.
We hope you will be able to join us.
