Pacific Southwest Chapter 2025 Spring Retreat
Monday, February 17 - Thursday, February 20, 2025

Franciscan Renewal Center, 5802 E. Lincoln Dr., Scottsdale, AZ 85253

Registration for our fall chapter retreat is now open! The retreat will be held at the Franciscan Renewal Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, February 17–20 (Monday through Thursday). The draft schedule is below.

The registration deadline is Saturday, February 1.

Our main programming will be by our colleague Emily Webb, who will be teaching us about “Sacred Substances: An exploration of the historical, cultural, religious and modern day context of psychedelics and altered states.” Also, our series of Odysseys continues: Rod Richards will tell us about his life and experiences in ministry. (We plan to stream Rod’s Odyysey on Zoom as well, for those who can’t make it to the retreat.)

As usual, people coming from outside of Arizona will receive a $150 travel reimbursement, no forms or receipts necessary. And there is a pay-what-you-can option for the registration fees, which we encourage people to use. It’s OK to choose $0!
