Pine Point is an old fishing lodge at the end of a gravel road, with a lake room that seats twenty and a dock that faces the sunrise.
We take the whole lodge for the weekend. Most of the time is spent in silence, sitting and walking with the group, eating together and resting in between. You do not need to have been on a retreat before; you do need warm clothes.
