The 4th Annual IWF Western Region Retreat will be held in Northern California. The Retreat brings together members from IWF forums across the Western Region—including British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Southern California, Idaho, Utah, and Hawaii—for a dynamic, mini-conference–style experience centered on shared learning and expanded regional connection. It will include special curated activities to build relationships and connections between members while experiencing the history and charm of Healdsburg, CA and its stunning surroundings. The venue is Bishop's Ranch, the same location where IWF Northern California's renowned annual “summer camp” is held and will allow all participants to enjoy the beauty and peace of this rustic gem. We hope you will join us for what will be an exciting and memorable weekend.
Important information on activities, accommodations, pricing, and getting to Bishop's Ranch are provided here.
