  • Childcare

This retreat is open to IVAW members, CSA members, and their family and love ones only. 

This retreat is organized around the midwestern states but if you live anywhere in the central part of the US (from the Rockies to the Applications and Canada to the Gulf) you are invited! It is time to bring our community together for our regional retreat.

This will be a time for us to relax, build relationships, and have fun on 10 beautiful acres in south central Wisconsin. We will also hold workshops and skill shares for one another, finalize our plans for the NATO action, and plan for the future for our region.

Please take 2 minuets to fill out this registration so we can plan adequately for everyone.
