Gold Country Mini-Retreat
May 16, 2026
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.

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.
