Parent & Child - Morning & Afternoon Retreat - 2023-24

Studies have shown that time spent outside is good for our physical and mental health. Thankfully, it's also very joyful!

At our Retreat programs, our time together starts with a short walk to greet the chickens, quail and sheep and includes a seasonal circle time of verses, songs and stories. After an informal picnic (bring a snack--we provide the beverage), and an outdoor adventure, a brief puppet story will conclude our time together. You are welcome to continue enjoying the retreat centre grounds informally for the rest of the day as well if you like.

Seasonal adventures may include:  a visit to the CSA garden, a wander around the labyrinth, a hop over to the beehives, time for tobogganing or building a fire.

Retreat classes will be held on Wednesdays for the  fall and spring terms of the 2023-24 school year at Crieff Hills Retreat Centre. 

Morning Retreat - 9:30-11:00am

Afternoon Retreat - 12:30-2pm

Class meets rain or shine!
