It's funny about retreats. I usually find out about them after the fact, that's just the nature about word of mouth. I know I have announced retreats at my Guild and Bee, there are always those poo pooers who say, it's too expensive, not worth it. So I quit announcing it. But, I make a mental note for the following year of any new ones, and who puts it on and find out for myself, if I want to go. I prefer to go by myself and meet new friends rather than hang around the same people.
