"FLOCK" Holy Hen House Winter Retreat 2020
We want to inform you that after much prayer, thought and discussion, we have decided as a group that it would be best to postpone the February Flock retreat and reschedule it for this coming fall. Several circumstances have come up over the past few weeks which have led us to this all-be-it difficult decision; however, we feel as though God is working through these factors to show us an even better plan (as He often does in all of our lives!).
Good news is that we already have a new date for Flock 2020! The Flock retreat will now be held Fri, November 13th through Sun, November 15th. It will still occur at the Conference Point Center on beautiful Geneva Lake in Wisconsin as it was originally intended. Tickets will be available to purchase in June.
Once again, we thank you for your continued support and understanding in this circumstance. We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and pray that you are able to join us in November!
Through Him who always knows what is best,
The Holy Hen House Event Team
CONFERENCE POINT CENTER
300 Conference Point Road
Williams Bay, WI 53191
This retreat will be taking place at the absolutely gorgeous Conference Point Center in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Situated directly on the coast of Geneva Lake, the Center is surrounded by beautifully mature trees, walking paths and restored historic facilities.
Retreat attendees will be calling the hotel-styled Soderquist Lodge home for the weekend, with all events taking place in the common meeting space right in the lodge itself.

If you would like to come with a friend or a group please tell us their names when you purchase your ticket so that we can try our best to keep you together for the weekend. Note that the bedrooms are shared and have private bathrooms. Rooms can fit two to six women comfortably. Please let us know in the ticket form if you are willing to share a queen or utilize a bunk bed.

Please contact your friends and organize your rooms quickly. Last year we were surprised that tickets sold out very quickly. We intentionally keep the retreats attendance low, only allowing 80 women to attend. This will keep the event more intimate and less conference-like. This is quality time! Come rest in the grace and forgiveness found in Jesus. The life changing gospel will be found in the retreat's teaching, live worship, and conversations (or silences) in between.

WHEN IS THE TICKET DEADLINE?
February 5th. If tickets get close to selling out we will alert on social media and email.
DO I HAVE TO BRING A PHYSICAL TICKET TO THE RETREAT?
No. We will have your name on the guest list. Please bring along your driver license or other identification.
WHAT ARE THE LODGING ARRANGEMENTS?
Lodges have queen beds and twin bunk beds. Most will have their own queen bed but if you are willing to share a queen bed or bunk bed with a friend please let us know when you select your ticket options.
HOW CAN I MAKE SURE THAT I SHARE A ROOM WITH MY FRIEND(S)?
When you purchase your ticket, type the names of your friends that you want to lodge with to best ensure that you will be together. With few tickets being available please make sure that you purchase the tickets promptly in case they sell out. Rooms can fit two to six women comfortably. Please let us know in the ticket form if you are willing to share a queen or utilize a bunk bed.
IS THE RETREAT ONLY FOR MOMS?
No. We try to cover all of the bases when it comes to Christian women: in their 20s, single, married without children, mothers of littles, empty-nesters, etc. We are confident women in all places of life will find enjoyment in the retreat!
CAN I BRING FOOD AND DRINK ALONG?
Yes! All meals will be provided by the Conference Center but women are still welcome to bring snacks or preferred drinks along. Please note that the rooms do not have refrigerators and alcohol is not permitted.
CAN I BRING MY BABY ALONG?
Unfortunately, no. We understand all too well the need for moms to have a retreat away. However, for the sake of the other women who are hoping to enjoy a full night sleep or less distraction we ask that you wait to attend another year. We truly do love babies! Thank you for understanding!
IS THE RETREAT CASUAL OR FORMAL? WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
The retreat is definitely casual. Bring warm comfy clothes. We also recommend that you bring along a winter jacket, hat, and gloves as Wisconsin winters are chilly and you may enjoy a walk in the fresh air.
WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?
There are no refunds allowed with this type of event. We will allow you to swap the ticket with another person but you are responsible for finding them and notifying us of the change. Thank you for understanding!
