ESSENE CHURCH

 

SKYKOMISH RIVER RETREAT

AND LIVING FOODS WORKSHOPS

 

Weekend of June 26-27 Summer 2004

 

 

Where:

 

Join Seattle Essene Church members, and brothers

and sisters interested in raw-foods and natural

lifestyles, for a beautiful weekend of raw-foods

and natural living workshops, on brother Rex

Coryell's private property along the Skykomish

River in Washington.

 

What:

 

A positive and uplifting retreat is planned,

respectful of One-another's needs and

differences. There is no charge for this seminar,

and an ashram style Saturday dinner and Sunday

breakfast will be made available. The food will

be living (uncooked) but very delicious and

nutritious. We will ask for a contribution of

live organic food or a tithe; however your

presence is much more important. Saturday lunch

is a vegetarian potluck so bring food please.

 

The retreat is a camping retreat. Tent camping is

available on either of two lots. Inside floor

space is available for those less adventuresome.

A bathroom facility with shower is available but

limited because of septic demands. State

campground facilities are within 10 miles with

pit toilets and camping fees; some motel/ bed and

breakfast services within 10 miles. This event is

pet free; we love animals too but think of this

as a vacation away from your pet.

 

Reservations by phone are necessary so we can

finalize planning, please call 425-350-4099 and

ask for Rex. Call to reserve a spot as parking

space is limited to approximately 20 cars,

therefore we are limiting the number of attendees

to 30 (car pooling would help considerably).

Call with questions, suggestions, or to reserve

ASAP.
