Gold Country Mini-Retreat
May 16, 2020
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.
Come join us for the next Gold Country Mini-Retreat on May 16, 2020!
We''ll discuss Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer, and then together we'll watch Jean-Jacques Annaud's 1997 film adaptation starring Brad Pitt.
