Volunteering Options

Volunteers are a vital part of our retreat, and it’s a great way to be able to attend and work with our amazing team!


Volunteering at the retreat is great way to attend at a reduced cost!  
Our goal is for volunteers to contribute $300 toward the registration fee, which can be paid all at once, or in two installment payments!


Examples of volunteer duties include: helping before the retreat, setting up onsite, assisting workshop presenters, breaking down after the retreat, and more.

  • The 3rd most common reason folks hesitate to register is a fear of not knowing anyone there. To solve that, we have a Facebook group and Zoom opportunities for you to meet others before the retreat, but even if you just come... you'll find it the most welcoming place on earth.
