event info:

in spring of this year, we had a very lovely mini-retreat here. about five of us slept over on a friday night. we had a million laughs and just chilled out and relaxed. on saturday we were joined by about a dozen "day trippers" and we had such a lovely time! we had a great workout and a wonderful potluck lunch. after lunch a few trusting souls went on a hike to muir woods, and even though our hike leader made a very fine effort to kill us off, we all made it back to the lodge relieved and smiling.

to describe the place, imagine a ski lodge setting with a cozy fireplace, a large sun deck for stargazing, an outdoor gas grill... there is a fully-equipped kitchen and hostel-style sleeping accomodations with bathrooms and showers. there are about 16 single beds in the main lodge, and about a dozen more in the adjacent building, plus plenty of room for sleeping bags wherever you like. (sundeck maybe?) no linens are supplied, so bring a sleeping bag or byo linens & bath towels.

please feel free to bring your own food supplies and prepare your own meals. there is a large refrigerator, a large stove, pots, pans, plates, glasses, everything except the food.

here's the schedule of events:

friday 6 pm - the lodge opens for sleepover arrival

friday 7 pm - sleepover guests enjoy a
byo wine and cheese social

there is a nia class on saturday at 9:30 am

after that: we invite you to bring a bag lunch and/or something to share for a potluck lunch. enjoy a picnic in our lovely indoor patio or on that wonderful sun deck. we will serve coffee, tea and chai.

during lunch, we will take a wonderful trip down memory lane as we watch videos and dance routines from "the early days," all in celebration of Nia's 25th anniversary.

after which you are invited to hang out around the lodge, take a nap, enjoy the sun... whatever! enjoy the place until we close the lodge at 5:30 pm.

event fee: $15 saturday only
or $50 per person including the friday night sleepover.
