Singing the Trees:
Reweaving connections in edge times
April 11-13, 2025
Wellspring Retreat Center
Germantown, MD

To register, you must complete this registration form and make a $75 non-refundable deposit. You can make your payment online or send it in via check. The fee for the retreat is $425 each for a double/shared room and $475 for an individual room. The retreat fee includes lodging, six meals, and program. 

The fee for this retreat is based on the nature of the retreat, cost of lodging and food, and modest compensation for three leaders.  We realize that the fee may be beyond the ability of some, so we are offering partial scholarships. We encourage you to request a scholarship using this form, and be sure to send in your registration. A scholarship application alone is not a registration.

To attend you must agree to administer a COVID self-test on the morning of April 11 and email or text us with the results.
