2008 Midweek Retreat II

Monday, September 8 to Friday, September 12


Ours is an adult conference for people who want to kick back and experience Star without the bells and whistles. Except for a single get-together, we confine our planned activities to a morning chapel led by the minister of the week and an evening candlelight chapel led by conferee volunteers.

We can be found doing nothing more strenuous than sitting in rockers reading, talking or dozing; flying kites; listening to music; or rock sitting. Ours is an ideal conference for a small gathering of friends, or even a meditation group, because the relatively low number of people on-island affords many opportunities for privacy. We offer the alternative to all those wonderfully cacophonic conferences during the season. Join us and experience the real Star Island.
