2021 Spiritual Retreat dates – your opinion requested!

We are beginning plans for our 2021 Spiritual Retreat.  While unfortunately we were not able to hold our retreat this year, due to Shelter-in-Place restrictions, we are expecting that next spring we will again be able to offer a renewing spiritual experience in the redwoods of Santa Cruz Mountains.

Typically the retreat is held the second weekend in March.  We’ve heard from several groups that they also have another event that is routinely scheduled for that same weekend. So we  would like to find out your preferred retreat dates. Note that in 2021, Easter is April 4.

If you would be interested in attending the retreat, please take the quick poll below – click the button to the left of the date you prefer, then click Submit..  (One entry per person, please.)

For either date, the event would start Friday evening just before dinner, and end Sunday just after lunch.
