UU Retreat September 9-11th on Vancouver Island

Registration is now open for the 2022 weekend retreat for BC Unitarians who identify as being female. The dates are September 9th - 11th. This retreat has been held (almost) continuously for the past 25 years at the serene Bethlehem Retreat Centre near Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island.

We work together to create space for celebration and support for each other by sharing our gifts and talents to make this a fun, healing and healthy experience. Activities will include:

  • discussion circles

  • a water celebration ceremony

  • crafts

  • yoga

  • quiet time

  • music

  • labyrinth walking

  • a Sunday service

  • a jewelry & book exchange

  • exploring nature outside

We will have a combination of “inside” and “outside” activities. The weather should be warm, as this is our earliest fall weekend yet! The food is excellent, and each participants has their own room. There are also rooms for people with mobility challenges.

We are limiting registration to a maximum of 14 participants this year to ensure COVID spacing. Your place is secured by paying the fee. The all-inclusive cost for the weekend: $345 by August 22 or $370 until registration closes Sept. 5, 2022. Nanaimo ferry pickup can be arranged.
