Spark Retreat at Miniwanca

An AYF Adult Program | September 12 to 15, 2024

Aligning with the AYF’s value of continuous learning, adults 21 and older are invited to participate in a four-day Spark retreat.

During our time together, we will participate in scheduled sessions/workshops, personal reflection, small group and community-wide experiential programs, and enough unscheduled time to fully absorb the beauty of Miniwanca. Participants will experience a retreat with with tangible takeaways with opportunities to reflect, connect, relax, and rejuvenate in a safe, fun, and welcoming environment.

All are welcome.

  • Previous experience with AYF programs is not required. The content will be tailored for those in the adult phase of life, and all participants ages 21 and older are welcome.
  • As with all AYF programs, we believe in the power and importance of the full expression of all individuals. We enthusiastically welcome people of all identities, beliefs, life experiences, and abilities, and we are committed to reducing any barriers that may prevent your full participation.
