STEP 1: Ticket Purchase for the Retreat
You can purchase your retreat ticket right here on our registration website beginning at 8:00 am on November 5, 2025.  This ticket includes all meals, snacks, and the cost of the retreat (speakers, equipment rental, etc.).  Each woman attending can purchase her own ticket or you can do as you have done in the past and have one person buy a ticket for everyone in the group.  You are only able to pay with one credit card in a transaction so if you register more than one person, it will have to be charged to one credit card.  You will need the following information for each person you register: Name, Email, Phone, City. Click here for a direct link to the ticket purchase.

STEP 2: Room Reservation at the Osthoff

Option 2: Online Reservation:
To reserve your room online, visit the Osthoff Resort website.

This code will identify you as part of our group and ensure you receive rooms reserved for our group. The online booking system will only require you to pay for the first night at the time of booking, and the balance will be due upon check-in.
