Restoration & Renewal Retreat

February 27th – March 1st, 2026

You are invited for restorative time in nature at the beautiful Whidbey Institute on Whidbey Island, WA. Retreats include delicious and nourishing meals served with care by our kitchen staff.

Longing for time alone in nature, leisurely afternoons with a journal or good book, and long walks in the woods? Do you need a weekend of focused work time, with internet access and nothing to distract you but the hooting of owls? Restoration and Renewal Retreats are designed to foster intimacy with nature. Simply arrive and sink into the land.

Cost is $494 for a two night stay in a shared room. Cost for a single cabin for an individual is $602. This does not include taxes, but does include meals and fees.

This retreat is not necessarily a fit for those looking for lodging as a launchpad for tourism or off-campus exploration in the larger community. There will be no facilitated programming during this retreat. Meals and campus will be shared with other guests who are participating in a private facilitated program, please be mindful of their activities and spaces in use. Not all guests will want to be social during their stay on the land as they may be in deep contemplative work or silence.
