2026 Women’s Retreat
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
2026 Women’s Retreat — “Seasons of Life and the Poetry of Denise Levertov”
FRIDAY–SUNDAY, MAY 15-17, 2026, at Sacred Waters Center for Restoration and Retreat in Union, WA
Led by the Rev. Canon Emily Griffin
There are seasons to our relationships – with God, each other, and the world around us. It is a challenge to be fully present in whatever season we’re facing and to remember that it too will pass. We will gather again at the Sacred Waters retreat center on the Hood Canal (formerly St. Andrew’s House) for a weekend of rest and reflection on this theme. We’ll base our conversations on Denise Levertov’s Selected Poems (2002). Specific poems will be identified for participants in advance. As always, there will be plenty of time for connecting with new people and deepening existing friendships, as well as exploring the beautiful setting.
Registration is now open, on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to increased expenses at Sacred Waters as well as increased demand for their spaces, we are only using a portion of the campus – so space is limited. Priority will be given in the first 24 hours to those who could not attend last year.
Fee: $330 for single or double occupancy; includes two nights lodging and all meals Friday dinner to Sunday lunch. Partial scholarships are available. A $100 non-refundable deposit will be required to hold your space.
