  Each year we get together at Westerbeke Ranch in Sonoma for a 3-day retreat in the fall. Accommodations are shared rooms in rustic redwood cabins set among landscaped grounds including pool and hot tub. The towns of Sonoma and Glen Ellen are minutes away.  Join us for a weekend of conversation, fun, exercise, hiking, swimming, hot tub, massage, music, art, and delicious food. Give everybody a chance to know you better, develop closer ties with friends and colleagues, and return home inspired by new ideas from our group.

  We have room for 50 guests for the weekend, but Saturday-only (no overnight) registrations are available as well.

  Accommodations include access to gardens, swimming pool, adobe dining hall, and shared bedrooms in rustic cabins which is all set in beautiful, Sonoma, wine country.  Financial assistance for scholarships is available for students and those in need.  We encourage participants to join OWA+DP.
