This retreat is designed to offer dedicated time and space away from our everyday surroundings in order to ground and connect with what we really matters. This retreat is purposefully located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills on a beautifully appointed private property situated against natural forest, surrounded by an inspiring skyline. The intentional setting is meant to inspire an interruption to routines and patterns so we can be more available to think creatively about our school communities and the power of culture and counter-culture.
