Dear Friend

Our last retreat is just around the corner and after the year we have had, please know that we are even more prayerful about how to bring your community experience to an end in meaningful ways. As we plan to offer this retreat with hybrid options — both in-person and virtual — please know that we are holding gratitude and grief in every meeting and conversation. We are grateful to have an option of gathering in person and yet our hearts are heavy knowing that some of you will not be able to be with us.  As we continue to work with Q Center on the best practices and protocols for gathering safely and as we finalize details with our production team for a robust virtual experience, we are asking that you let us know your plans. The retreat begins April 11th with check-in available at 4pm CT at Q Center in St. Charles, IL. 

Blessings,
The TC15 Team

Attendance 

We will need to know who is planning to attend this retreat in person. This RSVP will secure your room at Q Center. 

Please let us know by March 10th whether you will be attending virtually or if you are able to travel to us and are comfortable gathering in person. We will be sending retreat materials in the mail regardless of if you are attending in person or via zoom.

It is important that we hear from every participant.

In-Person Retreat  

Those of you who will be joining us in person will be asked to adhere to the guidelines given by the CDC, including wearing a mask while in public spaces, along with physical distancing. We plan to send out more information about the check-in process at Q Center as we get closer to the retreat. In the meantime, if you would like to read through the protocols and guidelines that Q Center is implementing as you make your decision, please click here.

Extending Your Retreat 

Should you want to extend your stay at Q Center either because of travel or simply to have an extra day of rest and reflection, please let us know as soon as possible. We can help you make those arrangements directly with Q Center.

Live Stream Retreat 

Those attending virtually will be participating by interactive live stream and will have the opportunity to engage with the group as if you were sitting in the room. You will participate in fixed-hour prayer with the in-person group and even experience solitude and silence the afternoon of the second day. We will send more details about logistics but for now please plan to be present during the entirety of these dates. 

As you did for the last retreat, begin thinking through a way to create a set-apart space to be as free from distractions as possible either in your own home, a retreat center or hotel near you.

You may receive a partial refund if you are not able to attend in person and will participate virtually. This amount will take into account both that the virtual experience does incur some additional cost and that we will not have the cost of your room and board.

Small Groups  

We know that there will be groups where some members are attending in person and others will be attending virtually. Once we have a better understanding of how attendance will affect each group, we will make plans that take in consideration those realities. In the meantime, rest assured you will have a chance to connect with your small group during retreat to bring things to a close together.

Retreat End  

The retreat will end at 1:00pm on Tuesday. The Leaving Service will be a significant way to close our time together. Please plan to stay in person or online until the very end.
