-Retreat - September 30-October 2 - The stated facility is a private boarding school concentrating on (among other things) environmental sustainability and located in the ecovillage at Craik Saskatchewan. We have 7000 sq ft of living space on two floors, with a huge great room upstairs with a 16 ft cathedral ceiling and another large space downstairs with meeting tables and a whiteboard. The downstairs also has very high ceilings and heated concrete floors. If the weather is nice, we also have an approximately 2000 sq ft of south and east facing deck that can be used for breakout groups. There is a large screen HD TV, a fireplace, a pool table (in the process of being set up) and many “conversation pit” areas. We’re wired with high-speed internet throughout, including wireless access. We can provide a data projector for an additional cost. As far as sleeping arrangements goes, we have 3 rooms available– two rooms upstairs that accommodate 4 persons each and one rooms downstairs that accommodates 6 people. All rooms have bunk-beds. Cost including meals is $50/person/day and includes bedding. Questions - 1) What time are we planning to arrive on Friday? 2) We’d need to know ahead of time if anyone in your group has any particular food allergies, or eating restrictions. 3) Agenda items
