Exponent ll Retreat
September 26-28, 2008
Exponent II sponsors an annual retreat for women. Every gathering is designed to be a warm environment for open, honest sharing of life experiences, issues, beliefs, and ideas. The retreat features many workshops, a keynote speaker, discussions on a range of topics, a talent show, spiritual autobiographies, home-cooked from locally grown organic produce.
The Location: Friendly Crossways is conveniently located near Harvard, MA, 30 miles northwest of Boston. The century-old New England barn and farmhouse has been renovated to accommodate up to 70 people in a combination of dormitory and private rooms. All of the beds have beautiful hand made quilts which adds to the tranquility of this location which is set along the Johnny Appleseed Trail with easy access to hiking and biking.

Exponent II welcomes women who are familiar with our paper to this retreat and is committed to holding an all-women’s retreat. Please leave your husbands, children (except for non-mobile nursing infants – this is not physically a small-child friendly environment), and pets at home. We also ask that you come for the entire weekend for a feeling of connectedness and belonging to the group.
If you have any questions regarding the retreat, please call or email Barbara Taylor, saige3tb@yahoo.com, (508)259-7604. Updates on the retreat will also be posted on the Exponent II website at www.exponentii.org.
We look forward to a weekend of enjoying nature, making new friends, becoming reacquainted with old friends, and finding ways to make Exponent II even better.
