We will also have access to the cottage next door that has a very large living room\/lounge area if you need a break from sewing and the weather isn\u2019t cooperating.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Day retreater price will be $75 and includes your workspace and 4 meals (dinner Friday, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and lunch on Sunday).&nbsp;&nbsp;The workspace will be available starting from 10AM Friday until 4PM Sunday \u2013 you can stay as late or arrive as early as you\u2019d like throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those interested in staying overnight at the retreat center, the following lodging will be available at a first come\/first serve basis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meadow Cottage<\/strong>: 2 bedrooms available (1 Queen bed; 1 Full Bed) for additional $90 each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tiny Cabins<\/strong>: Two Cabins available for additional $150 for cabin that has 2 beds ($75 each double occupancy); additional $200 for cabin that has 3 beds ($67 each; triple occupancy or $100 each; double occupancy).&nbsp;&nbsp;Both cabins have a Q bed downstairs, and a Full or Full\/Twin up in the loft. They do not have running water, but do have a private composting toilet, wifi, microwave, fridge, and Keurig.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are shower\/running water facilities a short walk away in the Meadow Cottage.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let me know if you are interested in this option \u2013 if you don\u2019t have a roommate, I may be able to pair two or three single ladies together to share the cost. Please check out the facilities at the Hollis Renewal Center website \u2013 as a picture speaks volumes; the Tiny cabins are much nicer than I am able to describe.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/1rBYLPXZJop6ZVW67\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to register for the retreat<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/MQZMDGE4M39YQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Retreat Payment Link<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Barn Quilt Painting Workshop<\/strong> will be offered on Saturday afternoon by The Blue Bee.\u00a0 Create your own wooden barn quilt block in a guided, beginner-friendly workshop.\u00a0 There are 4 blocks to choose from &#8211;
