Ski & Spirituality Retreat
Returning Winter 2022
The Abbey Guesthouse is remaining closed through May 2021 so our annual ski retreat is postponed until 2022. We hope you are able to get out and enjoy the trails on your own and we look forward to inviting you back for spirituality and fellowship in the future!
