Perhaps I am eternally optimistic but perhaps they only have meeting room for a certain # of people and had to limit it for that reason. Feeling badly about excluding you, she thought you might be interested in joining them on a retreat. Some people love to jump in with a new group and love to meet new people (the more adventurous and outgoing) while others would not be comfortable. Unless it seemed like a blatant way to exclude you and then "use" you to fill a space, I would look at it as a way to include you in a retreat.
