Where?
Join us for our second Creatives Retreat in the breathtaking Blue Ridge mountains at Crossroads Camp and Conference Center pictured above. We will gather for the weekend to experience the Lord’s presence through extended conversations, babbling brooks, nature hikes, warm beds, comfy food, and the process of creating. Whether you’re a quilter or crafter, writer or reader, photographer, or painter, are interested in creative rest or prayer, or have another means of creating, we invite you to come and enjoy a weekend prepared just for you and by you.
What?
The plan is to give you a weekend away to create, according to your own schedule. However, we will offer two workshop sessions Saturday morning to allow you to learn one or two new skills. For each session, there will be two to three options to choose from.Workshops will be 1 hr 20 min for each session, and depending on the workshop, there may be a $5-10 fee for materials.
When?
The retreat will begin Friday, October 25 at 6:00 pm and conclude Sunday afternoon, October 27. There is an option to come Thursday, October 24, checking in after 4:00 pm. (Note: The retreat formally begins Friday evening at dinner, however, there is an option to come Thursday for an extra day to use as you wish.)
Cost?
Costs for 2024 are still to be determined and will be set by the retreat center in January. However, a $25 deposit will save your spot, and when full registration opens, you will have first option to claim your room. The deposit is non-refundable, but fully transferable to another person. It will be credited to your total amount due.
