Wine Country Mini-Retreat
October 2020
Location: Calistoga, CA
Since 2009 we've gathered annually for a one-day mini-retreat in the wine country. Calistoga is a lovely small town at the northern end of the Napa Valley, at the foot of Mt. St. Helena. There are many excellent restaurants and delis in town, but no fast food -- it's against the law! For those who wish to extend their wine country stay, we'll send a list of local accommodations when we accept your registration.
Details
Each year, the Wine Country Mini-Retreat examines a banned book, a book that one or more organizations has tried to suppress. In the morning we start with a book discussion, and then after lunch we view and discuss a film adaptation.
Our next Wine Country retreat will be in October 2020. Please check here later for the event date, the choice of book, and how to register.
In recent years at the Wine Country Mini-Retreat, we've enjoyed discussions of the book and film versions of Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, Native Son, Lord of the Flies, All Quiet on the Western Front, Othello, and The Man Who Would be King.
