Gold Country Mini-Retreat
May 16, 2025
Auburn, CA
Since 2010 we've held annual Gold Country mini-retreats in beautiful Auburn, CA, nestled in the Sierra foothills. Like our other mini-retreats, 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.
The next Gold Country Mini-Retreat is being planned for May 16, 2026. We'll discuss Operation Mincemeat by Ben MacIntyre, and then view and discuss its 2021 film adaptation starring Colin Firth. A registration announcement and link will be posted on this site later in January.
In recent years, the Gold Country Mini-Retreat has featured discussions of The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown, Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann; The Brothers by Steven Kinzer; Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer; and Queen of the Desert by Gertrude Bell; along with film adaptations or related films.
