Commonweal Residence & Palm
Point Reyes National Seashore View from Commonweal
THURSDAY NOV, 20 – SUNDAY, NOV. 23, 2025
Location: Commonweal Retreat Center, Bolinas, CA

Join me for a long weekend of quilting fun at Commonweal Retreat Center along the Pacific Coast in Bolinas, California! Taught by renowned quilter Lorraine Woodruff-Long (me!),  this retreat provides 2 1/2 days and 3 nights quilting workshop while immersing yourself in the restorative power of nature at this historic, 60-acre site on the southern edge bluffs of the Point Reyes National Seashore.   The grounds offer a walking labyrinth, a large sand tray room, historic buildings, art installations, wildlife viewing, and more. There is a small outdoor sauna we can use too! A new moon will allow ample stargazing in the dark night sky.
