Use this map as a guide for the walk to the Webster Center, the location of our activities. It is about a 10 minute walk from the entrance area, unless you get distracted along the way looking at the cacti!

Please dress casually and comfortably for the retreat! Lunch will be served outside on a shaded patio and our afternoon discussion activities will take place at scattered table locations around Webster Center.
