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.

Please join us for the Gold Country Mini-Retreat on May 21, 2022 in Auburn, CA.

​

We'll discuss Heinrich Harrer's nonfiction adventure Seven Years in Tibet.
