Have you been wanting to attend a retreat, but don't need hotel accommodations? Then the March retreat in Auburn is your chance to check out our retreats without having to spend the night!

The most frequent question I get asked is if people may attend the retreats without spending the night! I have decided to test this out and offer "day only" retreat options for the March retreat only. (This does not apply to any other retreat dates or locations.)

March 19 - 22, 2026
Hilton Garden Inn in Auburn, NY

Day Only options include:

$140, plus tax for Friday through Sunday
$150, plus tax for Thursday through Sunday

A registration form and $100 will save your spot, with the remaining balance due by February 19th, 2026. The standard cancellation policy applies to Day Only retreat packages, the same as it applies to all retreat packages.

If you are already registered for the March retreat with hotel accommodations, but would like to switch to the Day Only option, check your email! You should have an email from me about making the switch if that is your preference. No switches can be made after February 15, 2026.

I hope you find it pleasing to the eyes and easier to navigate on phones. The content has not been changed, it has just been organized a bit differently.

For example, the Weekend Retreats page has been simplified. The pricing and details for each retreat has been moved to its own page, but all of the same information is there.

Also, you will notice that the photos page looks different. I have not deleted any of the photos, but they have been organized by year.

Take a moment to check it out! Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you find any broken links or anything not working.

We will be holding a raffle fundraiser and a donation drive at the October retreat! Please know that participating is completely optional. If you are interested, here are the details:

Raffle Fundraiser: Buy however many tickets you would like and drop them in the bag next to items you wish to win. The raffle drawing will happen on Saturday night!

All money collected from the raffle fundraiser will be donated to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. Click here to read more about this charity.

Please bring cash or check to pay for any tickets you wish to purchase. We will come around the ballroom selling tickets on Saturday at 4pm. Also, from 7-8pm on Saturday we will be at the registration table selling tickets, and collecting donations for the donation drive as well. Drawings will happen during the 8:30pm announcements on Saturday evening!

Since several people have asked: If you wish to donate a raffle item to the raffle fundraiser, please just let me know that you will be bringing something and bring it with you to the retreat. All raffle items need to be brand new, not used. Baskets of items are welcome as well. If you are a consultant, feel free to include a catalog and/or business card along with your raffle item.

Donation drive: On Saturday from 7-8pm, we will be collecting donations just outside the ballroom. At this retreat we are collecting the following hygiene items: sponges, dish soap (small bottles are great), and/or dishwasher tablets. Bring in a brand new item for the donation drive and receive a raffle ticket for the raffle fundraiser! (Items from the dollar store are perfectly fine and much appreciated.) I will hand deliver all donations received to the Health and Wellness program at Foodlink (formerly Mothers in Need of Others).

The Health and Wellness program at Foodlink distributes baby care items, cleaning supplies, and feminine and personal hygiene products to families in need. Foodlink currently serves 10 counties in the Rochester and FingerLakes area and their reach keeps growing! Click here to read more about the program.
