FORMA Conference: Regional Gathering in Western Washington

This year's Forma conference, "Way in the Wilderness," is on Zoom with gatherings around the country for those who wish to experience it in community. The Diocese of Olympia will be hosting a west coast gathering at beautiful St. Andrew's House and we hope you'll join us.

Ministry leaders who work in faith formation are invited. We'll balance our time viewing an amazing array of conference speakers and workshop sessions (12:30 - 3:30 p.m.) with time for thoughtful discussion off-line, as well as: sharing of best practices, strategic planning, and spiritual enrichment around the fireplace in the great lodge.

Optional hikes, arts & crafts, and music-making will round out our time together and, lucky you, St. Andrew's House is known for its outstanding, locally sourced food.

Check-in on Monday, January 22 at 11:00 a.m. Check-out is Wednesday, January 24 at 4:00 p.m.
