Come for dinner and Fast Friends—a fresh twist on the very fun opener at our 2024 retreat. It’s all about re-connecting and new-connecting. As Yo-Yo Ma reminds us, “Good things happen when you meet strangers.” Then again, “There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t yet met” (William Butler Yeats). And for sure you will make new friends but keep the old, as anyone who’s ever sung around a campfire can tell you.
