Craft Retreat at Strangers and Guests: January 2026

[Catholic Worker]

From: Betsy Keenan <keenan...@yahoo.com>

Greetings!

I  have dates to announce for the next craft retreat at Strangers and Guests C.W.January 15,-19.  That is a Thursday through Monday, the weekend that includes President's Day.  

We are hoping to be able to gather folks who share a vision of life where work can be creative and good, enriching our living and sharing and celebrating. Our craft retreats can only happen though people's willingness to teach, learn and share our food and skills, stories, music and prayer.

We plan to meet in January this year to leave space in February for the CW Farm gathering which may attract some of the same folks. If you would like to propose (and help organize) another time for gathering folks for similar activity, we may be able to host that at another time-I would be glad to discuss it.

We would love to hear from you.  What you would like to learn, or teach and whatever else . . .feel free to share this with the people in your community- I begin with reaching out to those who I easily imagine enjoying the retreat and contributing a lot. Since space is limited we cannot always accommodate everyone who wishes to take part.

Peace,
