Creativity, Community & Conversation:
Parish Retreat 2026

Friday, September 25 – Sunday, September 27

at Seabeck Conference Center

This year’s retreat will invite us to reflect upon spiritual community. We are all on a spiritual path. But the journey we take is done in relationship and inspired by our encounters with others. We journey together. Rev. Eric will guide our reflection on what it means to live in spiritual community through conversation, ritual, and art. There will be opportunities for personal reflection as well as time to get to know our fellow parishioners more deeply. 

• Comfortable rooms & all meals provided
• Set your own pace of engagement
• Full roster of engaging activities for kids & youth
• A dynamic community artist will provide both kids and adult programming.
• Full schedule of events to follow.
• All are welcome.
