Vermont Knit and Fiber Retreats

Winter Retreat

 

The winter retreat used to be held every year around the first weekend of February at Seyon Lodge, Because of how popular this event is, it out grew the limited space there, and moved for 2022 to Highland Lodge in Greensboro, VT because they could accommodate more people. The dates changed, as well, to take advantage of the "end of season" rates that make Highland Lodge affordable. This turned out to not work as well as we'd hoped because getting the minimum people needed (22) was too complicated.

With the 2026 retreat, we are trying a new venue. The Creative Campus at Goddard. This is the former Goddard College campus. We will stay in a dorm that has been converted to lodging. We will meet in the lounges of the lodging and take our meals buffet style in the Dining Hall (which is a very short walk from the lodging). The new minimum is 12, much more possible even in the lean years.

All meals from Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast and all activities held during the retreat are included in the fee. The chef is very willing to accommodate dietary requirements in advance. The registration form will include space for dietary restrictions or lodging needs. If you plan on sharing a room, indicate that in the accessibility requirements field and be sure to include the name of the person you're sharing with. If you can't do stairs, be sure to mention that so you are placed in a downstairs room

Registration for this retreat is on a first-come, first-served basis. All the rooms have two twin beds and the bathrooms are shared. There are two floors and the lounges have fridges, coffee makers, and microwaves available for us to use. There is no elevator to the upstairs rooms. The downstairs is wheelchair accessible.

​

Registration deadline is December 31.
