Herland Fall Women’s Retreat
Herland Fall Retreat - September 10-12, 2004
Retreat to Robbers Cave State Park September 10 - 12, surrender your worries and cares and give up your responsibilities for one weekend.
Registration form (PDF).
The retreat features workshops, recreation, entertainment, a potluck dinner and a Saturday evening concert in a women-identified and supportive atmosphere. While we have lots of activities which are listed below, many people come to the retreats and park themselves under a tree with a good book all day; or go off hiking on their own - there is no need or pressure to do anything you don’t want to. All women and girl-children are welcome. No boys over 10, please.
The retreat starts Friday afternoon with plenty of time for unstructured relaxation. The famous Retreat soup will be simmering on the stove by 5 pm. Join other retreaters around the campfire for songs, fellowship and marshmallows. Saturday morning, bright and early, join Judy for a bird-watching nature hike.
Bring your musical equipment and talent for the Saturday afternoon Open Mic at 4.
The Saturday evening potluck will give you a chance to show off your culinary skills. Whether that means a bucket of KFC or flaming a Baked Alaska, or something in between, you’ll enjoy.
For our Saturday concert, join Nancy Scott and her fiddler friend Millie Marlow. Hometown favorites Mary Reynolds and Louise Goldberg will also be there.
Robbers Cave got its name from its alleged association with Jesse James and gangs, and Belle Starr, along with Cole Younger, and other assorted outlaws. Also, this historic park offers tons of things to do including Biking (road bikes can be rented), bird watching, camping, canoeing, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, jogging, kayaking and paddle boating, rappelling, rock climbing and wildlife viewing.
Robbers Cave is located East of Lake Eufaula and just North of Wilburton on State Highway 2 in southeast Oklahoma. From I-40 take the Indian Nation Turnpike to McAlester, then US 270 East 30 miles to SH 2, then North on SH 2 for about 7 miles.
