Registration has opened. We are ready for another grand retreat this year coming up on August 22-25. This will be our 35th annual retreat. Keep an eye out for a weekly blog update until the retreat. It’s like the saying, “Keep coming back, it works if you work it. And we do ’cause we’re worth it.”

Serenity on the Sound returns with “Healing Through Grace and Community” at Gwinwood. The retreat offers bunk beds, private rooms, and camping options by the lake for swimming and labyrinth walks. The Puget Sound Retreat Committee is crafting a rich program for SAA/COSA members, spouses, friends, and family, 18 and older. Learn more and register at soundretreat.org.

For this week, please share the following with your groups, during any announcement times:

Join the 35th annual Puget Sound Retreat! The entire retreat center has been reserved for exclusive use. Safety, anonymity, and support are our priorities. The No One Stands Alone (NOSA) team will be available throughout the retreat if you feel like you need additional support. Housing options cater to all genders and identities, and there’s space for campers or tents. Gwinwood also accommodated those with physical limitations. We’re seeking volunteers for workshops and other service opportunities. Learn more and register at soundretreat.org.
