One of the LQS/retreat centers has an open retreat once a month. Anyone can go, it's $15 a day or $35 to stay overnight and have 2 days or you can go for all 4 days. I'd rather do that than belong to a quild.
If there were such a thing as the retreat you are talking about around here, it would always be full!! Standing room only, enjoy it, it sounds wonderful.
It is, you have to make reservations or if it's 'spur of the moment' you have to call and make sure there's room but it's a pretty big place so there's usually room for one more.
