Fall Fiber Retreat 2012

For 10 years we have been organizing fiber retreats at Insel Haus Retreat Center/B&B on Bois Blanc Island (in the straits of Mackinac off Cheyboygan). The retreats are rejuvenating, stimulating and relaxing. How can those three things happen in one weekend? Well, you get to sleep when you want, you can stay in your PJs all day if you like, take a walk if the mood strikes you, and be inspired by all the projects others are working on (not to mention your own). You can take a class from Christa or Joan (additional fee — projects announced about one month prior to the retreats. For pricing and availability, send Christa an email: inselhaus@gmail.com. Come with a friend, or make new ones. Fall: September 21 – 24.
