Gold Country Mini-Retreat
May 15, 2021
Since 2010 we've held annual Gold Country mini-retreats in beautiful Auburn, CA, nestled in the Sierra foothills. Like our mini-retreats in San Francisco and Calistoga, this is a one-day event that combines discussion of a book (usually nonfiction) with a screening of a related film. There is a small charge, and lunch is provided.
In 2021, we plan to meet and discuss a book as we love to do, but due to the pandemic, the discussion will take place on Zoom.
On May 15, 2021 we'll discuss Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer, and we'll view its 1997 film adaptation starring Brad Pitt, David Thewlis and BD Wong.
Please hold the date. Plans are pending; check back later for registration details.
