The work activities of this weekend will be focused on preparing the retreat centre for the winter. The activities will include raking leaves, splitting wood, stacking firewood, preparing Retreat Road for snow conditions, and dry docking of the SSRC raft.
There is no charge for this program, but we need to know in advance whether you plan to attend for a few hours, or for the entire weekend. In that way we can be prepared with meals, a bed for overnight accommodation, and the tools to support your participation. If you are interested in attending, please send an email to the Retreat Manager: ssrc@siddharthasintent.org
