Our Commitment to Retreat Partners

Our goal is to create a mutually beneficial relationship with Retreat Facilitators, built on trust and respect. Together, we aim to build a community experience for retreat participants with the attitude that we are all in the retreat together. The Rochester Folk Art Guild and Facilitators share the responsibility to provide the best retreat experience possible, including timely and respectful communication, honoring our contract and policies, and committing to creating a successful event. This ensures we are able to create a space and manage an event that reflects both the Rochester Folk Art Guild and the Facilitators.

Alignment with Our Mission

Our mission is to support and nourish those seeking a more conscious, creative, and responsible way of living. We seek to host groups whose values align with our own and consider these principles when deciding on partnerships:

Conscious Living

We promote sustainability, mindfulness, and ethical choices in all aspects of our operations.

Authenticity

We honor unique perspectives, traditions, and expressions, valuing the diversity of our community.

Creativity

Learning and Growth
