Thank you for your gifts of rest, restoration and renewal! We will keep this campaign open through the spring of 2022.
Donors have gifted funds for 13 R&R retreats.
Help us give away 20 retreats in 2022.
Consider giving a gift in honor of a loved one!
With your gift of a full or partial Restoration & Renewal Retreat, you support a COVID first responder, an essential worker, a BIPOC community organizer, or someone working on the front lines of climate impact with the gift of healing land, restorative spaces, and delicous and nutritious food.
Your gift may support an educator, a grocery worker, an agricultural worker, a healthcare worker, a BIPOC community organizer, or a climate response leader, firefighter, or hurricane relief worker working on the front lines of climate impact.
Each retreat costs $550, and brings one person to the land for four days and three nights of serenity, connection, and nourishment.
The R&R Retreats start with Thursday dinner and end with Sunday lunch. During the retreat our guests walk the trails, visit the gardens, and find a rhythm that brings a deeper breath of vitality into their day. Chef Christyn will be serving her fabulous meals and can accomodate most dietary restrictions.
Another great way to gift a retreat is to start a peer to peer campaign to raise $550 from family and friends. Click on the button on the top right and follow the prompts or contact holly@whidbeyinstitute.org for more information.
We are working with organizations who support healthcare workers, essential workers, BIPOC community organizers, and climate response leaders to identify individuals who would most benefit from a retreat. If you know of an organzation we should be in touch with, please contact marnie@whidbeyinstitute.org.
Thank you for your support!
“My days on retreat at Whidbey institute were nourishing in every way: a place of complete quiet punctuated only by twitters of sparrows and quail, and the soft hoo-ing of Great Horned Owls at night!”
